Breaking Free from OCD, Anxiety & Stress with Matt Codde

I’ve stumbled upon Matt’s YouTube channel a few years ago and at the time, it was the first coaching resource I’ve discovered that tackled OCD. I’ve suffered from OCD and anxiety beginning in my early teenage years, but always mis-categorized it with the typical ideology of obsessive organizing or ritualistic behavior. I recently came back to Matt’s platform when life became increasingly difficult and realized I really needed to sort out what’s going on internally to actually move towards overcoming compulsions that have been limiting me. It wasn’t until I downloaded his podcast that I began to understand how intricate and deep-seated OCD can be and where the real effort should be focused. It will be a journey, but I feel better already having dove back into it and approaching it from a better informed direction. Matt makes it clear and concise when explaining the nuances of compulsion through various scenarios people experience it in and how to navigate them. I purchased his book ‘From Stuck to Unstuck’ and I look forward to continuing my education on this to finally overcome compulsions and experience challenging emotions with less resistance.

I so appreciate how concise and to the point these episodes are! I love Matt’s insights and how he provides new ways to think that actually help diffuse and break the cycle. I come back to these episodes as refreshers even when I’m doing well anxiety wise, because I find the support so helpful.

This podcast and Matt’s book has changed my life and the way I look at OCD & Anxiety.

Content is great, but he talks way too fast and the constant swallowing and throat clearing makes it very hard to listen to. The content is some of the best I’ve heard, but hard to take it in. Wish I could play this at half speed so I could actually take it in.
