Chrissie Hodges: Shame as a barrier to treatment for OCD (Ep413)

In episode 413 I chat with Chrissie Hodges. Chrissie is a Peer Support specialist, founder of OCD Gamechangers, and Author of ‘Pure OCD: The Invisible Side of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder’. Chrissie was awarded the hero award at the 24th IOCDF conference in San Fran. We discuss what's new with her, Chrissie’s OCD research, shame and OCD, themes of OCD and their relationship to shame, the question of do themes matter, shame as a barrier to treatment, shame around taboo intrusive thoughts, and much more. Hope it helps. Show notes: https://theocdstories.com/episode/chr... The podcast is made possible by NOCD. NOCD offers effective, convenient therapy available in the US and outside the US.
