Who Am I Without OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is really good at making a person question everything about who they are.For example, Scrupulosity OCD may heavily impact a person's religious identity by making them unsure of what they believe or what mistakes they may have made. Relationship OCD can blur the lines of what a person's thoughts and actions mean and how others might perceive them – and that's only scratching the surface.If you've asked yourself, "Who am I without OCD?" then this podcast episode is for you.

The co-occurence of OCD and disordered eating is a topic we've wanted to cover for some time now. It was a big part of Abbie's lived experience, and something that comes up consistently with clients in her practice. It's a common overlap that isn't discussed enough, and when it is, it rarely comes through an anti-diet culture lens. This episode features guest Jenna Overbaugh, LPC, who specializes in OCD and anxiety. Together, Abbie and Jenna discuss the misconceptions, steriotypes, and assumptions that do a disservice to those with OCD, and unearth the truths about what it means to live...

In today’s society, animals are so much more than simply “pets”. Many consider their animal to be their very best friend, their constant companion, helping them navigate the world when life gets tough. Animals are now members of the family, who have birthday parties, argyle sweaters, and a stocking with their name embroidered, which is hung by the fireplace during the holidays. In some cases, animals may even be considered soulmates. And while the deep connection between people and animals is undeniable, the immense grief associated with losing a furry best friend, a feathered family member, or an animal...

Positive emotions, like success, may bolster confidence, while negative emotions, such as failure or criticism, can challenge it. It's crucial to navigate these emotions with resilience, understanding that setbacks don't define your worth, and self-compassion is key in maintaining a healthy sense of self.Self-worth plays a pivotal role in...
