How to Release Obsessive Thoughts: Rumination, OCD, and Fear | Being Well Podcast

In this episode of Being Well, ‪@RickHanson‬ and I delve into one of the questions we're asked most frequently: how we can let go of obsessive and intrusive thoughts. We explore why we tend to get trapped in certain thoughts, the negative effects of rumination, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We also discuss facing our fears, which allows us to get close enough to a problem that we can do something about it…without getting so close that we become overwhelmed by it.
