Hello,
In this podcast we're going to talk about OCD, and how challenging this turbulent time is for people who suffer from this strange, painful, facsinating illness. Everyone is experiencing some kind of difficulty in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak, and I'm going to be sharing some of the troubles I've had, and how I'm approaching my fight with OCD. I hope that it will help you in your fight, or even just entertain you as we all pass the time together. Same boat and all that.
Whether or not you have OCD, I think it is a problem that deserves close inspection, and with the help of some good old research, and my friends who I hope to have as guests on the podcast, I think we can get it done. So join me, and let's get it done!

02 - Inflated Responsibility, Mermaids, Imaginary Exposure, Jennifer Lopez
In this episode, we look at how OCD can lead to feelings of inflated responsibility, and how this have an impact on your day-to-day routines. After that, I talk about a technique I have used with some success for managing my OCD. This technique is call "Imaginal Exposure" and it's a great way to still get your exposure therapy during a lockdown from the comfort of your own home and without putting yourself at risk. All you need is a pen and paper!
Also a brief chat about how JLo gets me out of my anxiety.
