Conversations about OCD, recovery, and real life
If you like learning by listening or reading thoughtful discussions, you’re in the right place. This page brings together podcasts, interviews, articles, and media features where I talk about OCD as it actually shows up day to day.
We cover subtle compulsions, mental rituals, ERP, mindfulness, relapse prevention, and the emotional pieces that often complicate recovery. Shame, guilt, people pleasing, uncertainty, and what it’s like to keep practicing skills even when OCD flares back up.
There’s no right order here. Follow your curiosity and take what feels most supportive in this moment.
