IMPOWERED: ED & MH Recovery

OCD: My Story

Listen Later

In this solo episode, I tell my OCD story from my heart. I divulge all the way in which OCD manifested itself in my life and wrecked havoc on my existence. Through my story, I dismantle the myths and misconceptions that surround the concept of OCD and shed light on the embarrassing, sometimes ridiculous ways in which it can dictate your existence. I also share how I have overcome my OCD and become stronger in the face of my Eating Disorder doing so.

In this episode:

  • My childhood with OCD
  • Harm OCD
  • Magical thinking
  • Intrusive thoughts
  • Contamination OCD
  • Exposure Response Prevention Therapy
  • OCD expectation vs. reality
  • How my OCD gave life to my Eating Disorder
  • Overcoming obsessions and compulsions
  • OCD/ED treatment
  • & so much more!
