The Anxiety Advantage - with Yang-May Ooi

OCD, Anxiety and Empathy - Ellie Russell


Listen Later

What is it like to live with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)? What do you do when you realise the life path you have started on feels overwhelming and sends you into a spiral of anxiety? And what can those experiences teach us about empathy and sitting with our own and others’ distress? In today’s episode of The Anxiety Advantage, twenty-something Ellie Russell talks frankly and movingly with podcast host Yang-May Ooi, about living with anxiety as a child and throughout her life.

I am not an expert on anxiety. I have no medical or therapy-type qualifications. I am a writer - and like many people, I have struggled with anxiety. My purpose in these podcasts is to explore with curiosity how these very human feelings affect all our lives. Views expressed by my guests are entirely their own and do not represent my views. These podcasts come out of my personal experience and perspective - and I do not claim to speak for everyone who may be living with anxiety.
