The Ocd Stories

In episode 482 I chat with Rebekah who has kindly agreed to share her OCD story with us.  We discuss her early compulsions, trauma, an eating disorder, social anxiety and depression, agoraphobia, panic, being told she wouldn’t recover, her mum advocating for her, involuntary hospitalisation, diagnosis, joining support groups, exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), harm and contamination OCD, dealing with shame, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), what helps her, her advocacy, and much more. Hope it helps. Show notes: https://theocdstories.com/episode/rebekah-482 The podcast is made possible by NOCD. NOCD offers effective, convenient therapy available in the US and outside the US.
