In episode 539 I interview Katie d’Ath. Katie is a cognitive behavioural therapist with a special interest in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders. She is also the co-author of “Managing OCD with CBT for Dummies”  and she has a popular YouTube channel where she shares OCD videos. 

In this episode we discuss running OCD therapy groups, managing an online OCD community platform, benefits of community to people with OCD, what Katie’s learned from her OCD community, learning from groups that the content of OCD isn’t the problem, consistency in the skills and therapy, and much more. Hope it helps.
