Description

In this episode, we break down what OCD really is, how it’s often misunderstood, and the deeper biological, emotional, and neurological roots behind obsessive thoughts and compulsions. Rachel shares the latest science on neurotransmitters, brain inflammation, and natural supports, while Caty offers real-life insight from her personal experience working with clients. Whether it’s you or someone you love, this episode sheds light on OCD subtypes, treatment options, and how to truly help—not hurt—someone who’s struggling.
