Are you struggling to understand OCD's impact on relationships?

Curious about the nuances between anxiety and OCD?

In this episode, hosts Tarah and EJ sit down with OCD expert Dr. Sara Brungard to delve deep into the complexities of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and its far-reaching effects on relationships. Sarah emphasizes the critical role of understanding family history during intake to uncover undiagnosed conditions like OCD. She walks us through major OCD themes such as harm, sexual intrusive thoughts, contamination, checking compulsions, and relationship OCD. This comprehensive discussion sheds light on the misconceptions about OCD, emphasizing the importance of targeting compulsions rather than anxiety in therapy. Sarah introduces listeners to the transformative potential of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, which can help individuals resist compulsions and regain control over their lives.

Listeners will find invaluable insights into avoiding common therapeutic mistakes and learning how to properly support a partner with OCD. Sarah also shares engaging stories from her experience at the Calm OCD centers located in Scottsdale, Tucson, and Sandy, Utah. Whether you're a mental health professional, a partner of someone with OCD, or someone seeking a better understanding of OCD's impact on relationships, this episode is a treasure trove of knowledge and practical advice. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your understanding and help transform the way OCD is managed in relationships.
