In episode 512 I chat with Dr Steven Phillipson and Sarah. Steven is a licensed clinical psychologist who specialises in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for OCD. Steven is the Clinical Director at the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy in New York. He is joined by one of his patients, Sarah, who has kindly agreed to share her story.

We discuss what is metaphysical themed OCD, what is metaphysical contamination OCD, trauma, Sarah's OCD story, her sticking points in recovery, getting the wrong diagnosis, how her husband supported her, and her therapy with Steve. Hope it helps.
