The Sarah Fraser Show

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Patrick McGrath, a renowned psychologist and Chief Clinical Officer for NOCD, to delve deep into the world of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Dr. McGrath debunks common myths, explains the true nature of OCD, and discusses the impact it has on people's lives. He also talks about the myths of positive thinking and how positive thinking really only works with action. Plus, why superstitions are bogus, how Dr. Patrick wants to raise awareness that a 'little' OCD doesn't exist. And, Dr. Patrick discusses pedophile OCD, is it a real thing? Can people have obsessive compulsive sexual thoughts and how to overcome them.
