In episode 519 I chat with Ally Kristan who has kindly agreed to share her OCD story with us.
We discuss her story, her compulsions, starting therapy in adolescence, grief, worries of harm coming to others, what else has helped her, intuition, her book, connection with nature, animism, penguins and the Antarctic (Ally’s a penguin expert), and much more. Hope it helps.
