Misconceptions about OCD are widespread, often reduced to stereotypes like excessive hand washing or tidiness.
In this episode I am dispelling myths and uncovering what its really like to liv with OCD, drawing upon two decades of therapy room insights. I discuss the significant ways OCD can disrupt daily life, how it can affect mental health, and undermine a person’s sense of self and identity.
Highlights include:
04:26 OCD and other mental health issues
06:02 How OCD attacks your sense of self
08:44 OCD as a shapeshifter
