Laura Johnson - OCD Doodles (#270)

<p class="p1">In episode 270 I chat with Laura Johnson. Laura is the creator of OCD Doodles and has kindly agreed to share her story with us.</p> <p class="p1">In this episode I chat with Laura about her story, her earliest experience, existential and superstitious worries, how as a kid seeing a school shooting on TV triggered worries of harm coming to her family, how OCD impacted her family as a child, contamination worries, relationship worries, drinking alcohol to self-medicate, seeking help, taking medication, her treatment journey from getting the wrong types of therapy, her negative experiences of working with a coach, finally getting therapy with a qualified therapist experienced in OCD, feeling guilty around harm OCD, parenting while dealing with OCD, and much much more. Hope it helps.</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Show notes:</span> <a href= "https://theocdstories.com/episode/laura-johnson-ocd-doodles-270"><span class="s2"> https://theocdstories.com/episode/</span>laura-johnson-ocd-doodles-270</a></p> <p class="p1"><strong>The podcast is made possible by and sponsored by NOCD</strong>.
