#133- Eating and Contamination, Getting Family Support, and PPOCD When It’s Only Obsessions

On this episode, I answered three listener questions. The first question is about how to deal with contamination obsessions that are effecting the listener’s eating routines. How can they stop checking their food and overall being hyperaware of what gets in, or already is in, their food. The next question is about getting family on board and supportive for treatment, how to do it, and whether it’s actually necessary for recovery. Finally, I answer a question about Postpartum OCD and how the listener can deal with this matter when she doesn’t have external compulsions. At the end of the day, this question is about Pure-O, Pure Obsessional, Purely Obsession OCD (whatever you want to call it). Thanks, as always, for listening!
