Every core lesson can be completed privately. Live classes and community participation are optional.
You may recognise this cycle
- Your attention repeatedly locks onto breathing, swallowing, blinking or another sensation.
- Trying not to notice it only seems to make the awareness stronger.
- You monitor, adjust or avoid situations in an attempt to feel normal again.
- The awareness is taking attention away from work, relationships, rest or enjoyment.
The goal isn’t to eliminate every thought. It’s to change what happens next.
The Three Steps give you a repeatable way to recognise the OCD cycle, make room for discomfort and return your attention to what matters.
Acknowledge
Recognise that you have been triggered without debating the thought.
Tolerate
Allow discomfort to be present without trying to force certainty or relief.
Refocus
Deliberately return attention to an action connected with your values.
“The aim is not a silent mind or perfect certainty. It is greater flexibility and less OCD control over your behaviour.”
Hi, I’m Robert
I lived with sensorimotor OCD for more than ten years, including persistent awareness of breathing and swallowing. I created this program to teach the response-based approach that helped me stop organising my life around those sensations.
Created and taught by Robert James, who lived with sensorimotor OCD himself for more than ten years.
What clients say about Robert’s approach
“Working with Robert has been a different experience. He really understands OCD, not just from a clinical perspective, but from the inside out. … Robert helped me learn to be more accepting of where my awareness goes, and more importantly, how to keep living my life alongside it, rather than constantly trying to fix or control it.”Cathy — sensorimotor OCD coaching client
“I was in a really dark and hopeless place with sensorimotor OCD, but working with Robert has allowed me to start living my life and pursuing my goals again, and gradually make a recovery.”Helen — sensorimotor OCD coaching client

Frequently asked questions
Can I complete the program privately, without attending classes?
Yes. Every core lesson and activity is available inside the self-guided course. The optional group session runs once a week for 45 minutes during the 12-week program; cameras, microphones and speaking are optional, and you may submit a question in advance.
How much time should I allow each week?
People work at different speeds. Plan time to watch the weekly teaching and, importantly, to practise the activities between lessons. You can pause, repeat a week or revisit an earlier exercise whenever that is useful.
How long do I have access to the course, classes and community?
You have lifetime access to the self-guided course material. Access to the weekly group session and the program-specific community lasts for the 12-week program.
Are live-class recordings available?
The taught presentation and guided meditation from the weekly group session are made available as replays. Open discussion and Q&A are not recorded, to protect participant privacy.

Your 14-day guarantee begins on the day you purchase. If you decide the program is not right for you and contact us within 14 days, we will refund the amount you have paid and cancel the remaining scheduled payments.
What happens if I upgrade to personal coaching?
If you upgrade to the relevant coached program within 60 days, every self-guided payment you have already made will be credited toward the coached program and any remaining self-guided instalments will be cancelled.
Will focusing on sensorimotor OCD make me more aware?
The program is not built around constantly monitoring sensations. It explains why awareness becomes sticky, then moves towards allowing sensations and returning attention to daily life. Some exercises may bring sensations into awareness temporarily; the aim is to change your response rather than force awareness away.
