In episode 404 I chat with Pernell Taylor who has kindly agreed to share his OCD story with us. 

We discuss his story, OCD staring (Peripheral Vision / Visual Tourettic OCD), sexual orientation themed OCD, relationship themed OCD, doing exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), advocating, support groups, managing OCD in his relationship, mindfulness, faith, masculinity, and much more. Hope it helps.
