Story: Thomas Smalley (#234)

<p class="p1">In episode 234 I chat with Thomas Smalley. Thomas won the IOCDF’s hero award in 2019 for his OCD advocacy. He has kindly agreed to share his OCD story.</p> <p class="p1">In this episode I chat with Thomas about his OCD story, his advocacy, getting therapy, dealing with shame, tracking progress in therapy, his experience of teletherapy, how physical exercise and faith were helpful outlets for him, finding his identity after he got his time back from compulsions, dealing with stigma, words of hope and much much more. Hope it helps.</p> <p class="p2">Show notes: <a href= "https://theocdstories.com/episode/story-thomas-smalley-234/"><span class="s1"> https://theocdstories.com/episode/story-thomas-smalley-234/</span></a></p> <p class="p1"><strong>The <em>podcast is sponsored by NOCD</em></strong><em>.
