The Ultimate Break-up Guide

Discover a space where emotional healing meets personal growth

Mehran Dadbeh brings a uniquely powerful perspective to understanding and treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), combining deeply personal experience with extensive research into neuroscience, philosophy of consciousness, and behavioural psychology. His journey with OCD began in childhood, experiencing various manifestations of the condition first-hand—from repetitive hand-washing to complex thought patterns. Rather than letting these challenges define him, Mehran used his analytical Psyche, honed through chess and puzzle-solving, to transform his experience into a comprehensive understanding of OCD and its subsets. What sets Mehran's approach apart is his revolutionary perspective on consciousness and its relationship to OCD.

Through extensive study of leading minds in neuroscience and philosophy—including Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz, Dr. Roger Wolcott Sperry, Dr. Wilder Penfield, Dr. Adrian Owen, and Dr. Benjamin Libet—he has developed a unique framework for understanding OCD that emphasizes the distinction between awareness and brain function.

His work is particularly influenced by the philosophical insights of Jiddu Krishnamurti, integrated with cutting-edge neurological research. Mehran's core teaching centres on a transformative insight: that human consciousness and awareness exist independently of thought patterns and brain activity. He helps individuals understand that OCD, HOCD, and intrusive thoughts are not personal failures but rather temporary glitches in brain function that can be addressed through neuroplasticity and conscious awareness. His approach emphasizes that we are not our thoughts, but rather the awareness that observes them.
