So if you do have anxiety and you do have OCD, seeking out appropriate treatment can change your experience with OCD and anxiety to the point where it might still be there because you might still have intrusive thoughts, but it won't impact your life in the way that it is at this moment that you can find significant relief in being able to do this work.
Ever wondered what it's like living with OCD? In this eye-opening episode, therapist Sara Galaglo from the OCD Center of Los Angeles joins host Chad Moses to shed light on the complexities of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Drawing from personal stories shared on the TWLOHA blog, Sara dives into the often misunderstood and stigmatized world of OCD. She clarifies how OCD can be misdiagnosed as anxiety and discusses the various forms it can take, from checking and contamination to symmetry and hoarding.
Sara also introduces listeners to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, a powerful tool in managing OCD. By breaking down the hierarchy involved in ERP, she explains how individuals can confront their fears and gradually reduce compulsive behaviors. Throughout the conversation, Sara emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment, challenging misconceptions and encouraging the building of supportive communities.
Whether you're seeking to understand OCD better or looking for ways to support someone who has it, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a mix of expert knowledge, personal anecdotes, and a touch of humor that makes this serious topic accessible and engaging.
