How She Managed OCD As A Wife and Mother


Listen Later

Cayla Davis never imagined that motherhood and marriage would come with a silent battle — one that lived in her mind and convinced her she was a danger to the very people she loved most. When intrusive thoughts took hold, everyday moments with her children became terrifying, and the weight of OCD strained her marriage. The back-and-forth battle wasn’t easy, and the guilt of needing constant support nearly broke her — but she refused to let OCD define her.

Through exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, Cayla learned to live with uncertainty instead of being ruled by it. She stopped letting fear dictate her every move, and for the first time in a long time, she could truly be present with her family. Now, she shares her story to help others who feel trapped in their own minds, proving that recovery is possible and that OCD doesn’t get to steal the life you love.
