Manage episode 373732463 series 2890997
On this week's episode, we are joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Lauren Rosen, who specializes in OCD, anxiety and eating disorders. Lauren shares her personal experience with OCD and how it led her to pursue a career helping others with the disorder. She discusses various manifestations of OCD beyond the stereotypical cleanliness obsession and how it impacts people's daily lives through mental compulsions, reassurance seeking and avoidance. Lauren provides advice on how friends and family can better support those with OCD by validating their feelings rather than trying to fix their uncertainty.
