Bonus Episode: OCD Subtypes Explained: Which ONE Is Holding You Hostage?

Summary: In this episode, I walk you through the many ways OCD can show up, because it’s not just about germs or checking. OCD can attach itself to anything that matters to you, like relationships, health, morality, identity, or past experiences. If you’ve ever felt confused or alone in your thoughts, I want you to know there’s a reason your OCD looks the way it does, and you’re not alone in this.

I also share a newer way of understanding OCD, not just by subtype, but by what’s driving it underneath, like fear, guilt, disgust, or that “not just right” feeling. Most importantly, we talk about what actually helps: understanding the OCD cycle, practicing exposure and response prevention, and bringing self-compassion into the process. Recovery isn’t about getting rid of thoughts; it’s about changing how you respond to them.
