What If I’m a Bad Person? OCD, Anxiety & Breaking the Thought Spiral

If you’ve ever found yourself obsessively replaying conversations, overanalysing your actions, or spiralling into “What if I’m a bad person?” thoughts — this episode is for you.

As a therapist, I see this struggle often in people with anxiety and OCD. In this episode, I break down:
✔️ Why OCD and anxiety make you doubt your own character
✔️ Thought-action fusion & the fear of ‘being bad’
✔️ Why anxiety targets what you care about most
✔️ The reminder you need: your thoughts aren’t proof of who you are

Whether you’re dealing with intrusive thoughts, high-functioning anxiety or OCD, this episode will help you feel less alone and more capable.
