Dr Jordan Levy & Dr Tatyana Mestechkina: What if this is not OCD?: Doubting the “Doubting Disease” (#338)

<p class="p1">In episode 338 I chat ​Dr Jordan Levy and Dr Tatyana Mestechkina. Both Jordan and Tatyana are licensed clinical psychologists who treat OCD.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">We discuss their therapy story, we chat about the thought of what if this is not OCD and other thoughts that get in the way of therapy, such as, What if this time is different? What if I’m doing therapy the wrong way? What if this is the piece of “evidence” that leads my therapist to think this isn’t OCD after all? What if these thoughts are bad, and I’m a bad person for having them and letting them be there? What if my therapist doesn’t know what they’re talking about? We discuss how to navigate the thoughts, the back door spike, and much more. Hope it helps.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p3"><span class="s1">Show notes: <a href= "https://theocdstories.com/episode/jordan-and-tatyana-338"><span class="s2"> https://theocdstories.com/episode/</span>jordan-and-tatyana-338</a></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1"><strong>The podcast is made possible by NOCD</strong>.
