On this week’s episode of Anxious Like You, Nadia and Micheline talk to therapist and OCD activist Alegra Kastens! Alegra gets vulnerable about her pedophilic intrusive thoughts and how finding the right therapist helped her come to terms with her OCD—and made her want to become a therapist herself! The three discuss what “Pure O” means, why acting on compulsions isn’t healthy, and how uncomfortable but effective Exposure Therapy can be. Alegra also touches on how similarly OCD and eating disorders present themselves. We can’t wait to hear what you think!
