Robert James explains how OCD relies on one repeating trick — creating urgency from uncertainty — to keep you trapped. He uses a running metaphor to show why slowing down and allowing discomfort can break the cycle.

The episode offers practical steps: notice the urgency, pause instead of acting on it, and practice small, steady changes that build resilience over time
