Steph has always had a strange and unusual fascination with OCD, partly stemming from the envy that these people are organised, ordered and lead extremely successful and productive lives. While much of this narrative can be true, this is a disorder that should not be trivialised and what often goes unnoticed is the obsessive and intrusive thoughts, patterns and rituals that exist as a persistent and monotonous internal dialogue. These have been described by many as an all consuming and debilitating part of the illness.
This week on the pod we sit down with good friend, Harry Favetti who suffers from a more severe case of OCD as he talks us through everything from living with the disorder, being diagnosed, the rituals he must complete on a daily basis and the way it’s functioned as both a blessing and a curse in his life. Harry attributes many of the career successes he’s had from some of the patterns stemming from his OCD but the episode also sheds light on the unseen parts of his disorder which can be mentally taxing and draining.
This ep isn’t all doom and gloom and we have a lot of laughs along the way, particularly as Harry reflects on growing up with 5 siblings and a bunch of mates who continually err on the side of mess and chaos.
We hope you learn and enjoy!
