In this episode of The OCD & Anxiety Podcast, Robert James Pizey discusses setbacks in OCD recovery, emphasizing that they are a normal part of the process and do not erase previous progress. He highlights the non-linear nature of recovery, where challenges and new themes can trigger old patterns, and stresses the importance of leaning into discomfort through exposure and acceptance commitment therapy. Robert introduces the concept of a growth mindset, viewing setbacks as data for learning and adjustment rather than failures, and shares the "comeback protocol," which involves refocusing on values, taking small steps, and avoiding panic and rumination. Drawing on Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, Robert frames the recovery process as a transformative journey with inevitable challenges that ultimately lead to personal growth and resilience. He also mentions his 12-week program designed to help individuals break free from OCD, inviting listeners to visit his website for more information.
