The OCD Cycle
This doodle version of the OCD Cycle was created as a simple, visual way of understanding how obsessions and compulsions can become self-reinforcing over time.
Understanding the OCD cycle was a key turning point for me. It helped me see where I could begin to break the cycle, and why compulsions were the problem, not the thoughts themselves.
It is designed to make a well-known therapeutic concept feel more approachable, memorable, and easier to return to. As well as working as a visual educational tool, it can also function as a personal reminder or piece of artwork for people wanting something clear and recognisable in their own space.
This resource is designed for personal reflection, self-understanding, and private use.
This resource is also available as part of The Starter Collection.
