Just Right OCD: It’s Not About Perfectionism | Ep 42
Ever feel like you NEED to line your shoes up perfectly or else risk total chaos? Just Right OCD is the red headed step child of OCD; it differs from the other subtypes. With no feared outcomes, this type of OCD can feel even more frustrating and is often misunderstood—even in therapy. I’ll share insights from the International OCD Foundation on my blog, along with humorous, real-life scenarios (hello, drive-thru embarrassment!). I’ll discuss how Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can help you regain control and flexibility in your daily life. If you’re stuck in these obsessive habits, join me to learn how to break free and take your life back. See you next Friday for more on ERP!
