In this week's fascinating OCD episode, The Speakmans will answer:
- What is an OCD?
- Are we born with it?
- Could it be genetic?
- And if there is a cause, what is this, and how do you find it?
The Speakmans explain the difference between OCD & Pure O, plus discuss why it is we carry out OCD behaviours, as well as sharing the various types of OCDs that they’ve encountered in their clinic.
They question whether intrusive thoughts are in fact just thoughts; discussing the reason we have these, and the science behind them.
The family share the reasons why OCD often accelerates with each passing year, the link between OCD & confirmation bias, and why the 'OCD' label often only makes things worse.
Liv shares her own OCD behaviours displayed when she sat her exams, but also the science behind this ritual thought process. In this week's Science Corner, she also discusses the triggers that often make OCD behaviours manifest.
Hunter shares his OCD exam time behaviours, whilst the family question if Eva’s cleaning is a trait of OCD, or in fact just her high standards.
Client case studies are discussed, with The Speakmans sharing their process used to cure OCD, in the hope this helps others who may too be struggling.
This episode is filled with an abundance of incredibly helpful tips, and most of all, The Speakmans' absolute belief that everyone and anyone can overcome their OCD.
