This podcast episode is going to be a little bit different than my typical episodes because I am actually going to be taking and answering questions from my Instagram community. I get a FAQ's about OCD recovery and taboo thoughts, and I figured it was time to just compile a lot of those different questions and answer them here for you guys.


Here's a little preview of what we'll cover:

  • If I stop answering OCD’s questions, will OCD go away?
  • Does emotion regulation help with thoughts?
  • Is it possible to fully recover?
  • How does ERP work with sensory motor OCD?
  • What are good strategies for when you feel guilt over having taboo thoughts?
  • How to stop constantly having to prove to yourself that "it's not me"
  • Managing automatic groin sensations and not fixating on it
  • Using compulsions to feel better about it
  • How to navigate OCD flare-ups when weaning down from an SSRI
