  • OCD, Intrusive Thoughts, and the Loop That Feeds Them
    Most people with OCD aren't afraid of germs; they're afraid of their own mind.

    Eliana Bonaguro, LMHC, treats OCD, panic, and agoraphobia, and she illustrates them. She separates OCD from perfectionism, explains the difference between physical and mental compulsions, and shows why reassurance, rumination, and avoidance feed the loop instead of closing it.

    She walks through exposure and response prevention, why doing nothing in the face of fear is the hardest skill in therapy, and how surreal imagery carries what words can't.

    If you've ever hidden a thought you were ashamed of, this one is for you. OCD is highly treatable.
