OCD Family Podcast

Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, for another chat around the water cooler! This week, Nicole is talking about BFRBs in the summertime! If you aren’t familiar with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), consider this a special invitation to learn more! Because Nicole’s guess is that the OCD Family Community runs into this OCD-Related Disorder more often than folks realize! So join the conversation! It’s a brief, yet broad overview to bring awareness, resources and support to our BFRB and OCD Family community!

Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, as she unpacks this year's IOCDF Annual Conference. She is joined by special guest and handsome hubs, Patrick Morris.

So join the conversation, fam, and learn how this recap turned into re-crap on our return home.

Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, as she dishes with the OCD Family Community on all things Imposter Syndrome. While this was intended to be published during the 28th International OCD Conference in San Francisco, CA, some technical and logistical difficulties presented a delay. To hear more about that, check out S1E51 for our conference recap! There’s quite a story that explains the delay! Ha!

Join host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, for another chat around the Water Cooler! This week we’re talking about Pride for our LGBTQIA+ OCD fam and loved ones! We talk about the history of Pride, particular stressors that the queer community can experience, mental health and of course, OCD! Please note that there is a trigger warning for this episode, as many of the facts and stats around the history and current reality for the LGBTQIA+ community include violence as well as other sensitive triggers. Please note that this is not therapy, and please follow up with a mental health or medical professional if you need help.

Welcome back, OCD Family Community! Today we take quite the trek to the Water Cooler as we chat about congested intersections and how they impact OCD. It's an important conversation that have talked and will continue to explore during our family chats. So come carpool with me as we journey this road together!

Hey there, OCD Family Community! We are continuing our exploration of treatments that quench OCD with Medication Support. Do you have to take meds to treat OCD? Join the conversation to learn more! Also, please remember that I'm not a doctor and this is not medical or mental health treatment. But check IOCDF's medication guidance for better support in advocating for you or your OCD and OCD-Related Warrior's proper medication. As always, you can find links and resources at ocdfamilypodcast.com on this episode's blog, or click on the link if you're watching via YouTube.

Hey there, OCD Family Community! The Summer Series is continuing on with a timely Water Cooler Chat about I-CBT. I-CBT stands for Inferenced-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and it’s another Evidenced-Based Treatment for OCD. If you’ve been around our family gathering for awhile, you’ve heard us chat about I-CBT and ERP quite a bit. It can be hard to wrap your mind around, particularly for family coming from an exposure background. So join me for a story about I-CBT, and check out the links on the website to learn more.

Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, as she shares about her go-to treatment options for OCD by starting with an overview of Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, or ERP. For newer fam, this is a very broad overview. But you can check out more information regarding ERP at ocdfamilypodcast.com on this episode’s blog. This podcast is not therapy, but there is a lot of hope with the right treatment options. So join us! And I am giving my Thank You Giveaway update. So make sure you check it out!
