In episode 315 I chat with Annie Anderson who has kindly agreed to share her OCD story with us.
We discuss her OCD story, relationship OCD, we discuss her religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) and how this played into her OCD, worries about her partners physical features and whether she felt in love, opening up to get help, a breakthrough she had, existential worries, finding effective therapy, what was helpful for her in therapy, her experience of group therapy over zoom, words of hope, and much more. Hope it helps.
