In episode 507 I chat with Chrissie Hodges. Chrissie is a Peer Support specialist, founder of OCD Gamechangers, and Author of ‘Pure OCD: The Invisible Side of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder’. Chrissie was awarded the hero award at the 24th IOCDF conference in San Fran.
We discuss her community, acceptance and radical acceptance, what is acceptance, what are we actually accepting, what acceptance is not, taboo themes of OCD, shame and guilt, barriers to acceptance, and much more. Hope it helps.
