The Power of Connection and Shared Experiences in Overcoming OCD

In episode 486 I chat with Stephen who has kindly agreed to share his OCD story with us.

We discuss his story, his early memories, how OCD affected his work, existential themed OCD, medication, a detrimental psychedelics experience, religious scrupulosity, derealisation, getting admitted to a psychiatric ward, therapy, agoraphobia, boundaries, trauma work, and much more. Hope it helps.
