S4E167: Water Trough Chat: Why The Lindsay Clancy Case Feels Terrifying For People With OCD

The Lindsay Clancy case has sparked intense conversations about postpartum mental health—and for many people with OCD, those conversations can be terrifying.

In this special Water Trough Chat, Nicole welcomes back OCD specialist Gina Abbondante, LCSW, who brings nearly 20 years of maternal mental health experience. Together, they explore perinatal OCD versus postpartum psychosis, intrusive thoughts, psychosis, hormonal influences, and why this case has created so much fear and confusion within the OCD community.

They also discuss the polarization surrounding the case and what happens when we try to force an incredibly complicated tragedy into black-and-white explanations.

Content Warning: Includes discussion of child death, filicide, suicide attempts, intrusive harm thoughts, psychosis, and severe perinatal mental illness.

S4E166: Water Cooler Chat: Barefoot In Seattle: The 31st IOCDF Conference Recap

In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole is joined by her Seattle roomies and fellow OCD specialists Amanda Petrik-Gardner and Angela Henry to recap the 31st Annual IOCDF Conference.

The trio talks conference highlights, including expanded conversations around OCPD and PANS/PANDAS, the inaugural in-person I-CBT Special Interest Group meeting, evolving evidence-based treatment options, and why bringing clinicians, researchers, families, supporters, and people with lived experience together matters so much.
And because this is the OCD Family Podcast, there are plenty of roommate shenanigans along the way—including one very unexpected, exposure-filled barefoot walk through the streets of Seattle.

Come for the OCD education, stay for the dirty feet.

S4E165: Water Cooler Chat: Will Being Honest With My Therapist Get Me Hospitalized?

CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses suicidal ideation, self-harm, suicide risk, and psychiatric hospitalization. Please listen with care. This podcast is educational and is NOT crisis management, therapy, or individualized treatment.

In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole explores a question many people are afraid to ask: Will being honest with my therapist about suicidal thoughts automatically get me hospitalized?

Nicole breaks down why suicidal ideation isn’t one-size-fits-all, including passive versus active thoughts, intent, plan, access to means, protective factors, and acute versus chronic risk. She also explains why disclosure does not automatically mean hospitalization—and why not having a specific plan doesn’t automatically mean someone is safe or cannot be hospitalized. Risk assessment requires context, clinical judgment, and the whole clinical picture.
For the OCD community, Nicole also discusses the important distinction between unwanted intrusive thoughts about suicide or self-harm and suicidal desire or intent, while emphasizing that these experiences require individualized assessment by a qualified clinician.

If you or someone you love may act on thoughts of suicide, cannot stay safe, or is experiencing an immediate mental health crisis, please seek professional help now. In the U.S., call or text 988, go to the nearest emergency department, or contact emergency services for immediate help. Outside the U.S., contact your country’s emergency or crisis services.

S4E164: Water Cooler Chat: DSM, ICD & WTF: How Diagnoses Actually Works

In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole breaks down what it actually means to receive a mental health diagnosis—and why it’s about much more than checking boxes or assigning a billing code.

Using the Lindsay Clancy case as a backdrop, Nicole explores the DSM, ICD, differential diagnosis, and her three-legged stool of diagnostic criteria, the overall clinical picture, and clinical judgment. She also discusses why diagnoses can evolve as new information emerges and why one symptom—or one code—can never tell the whole story.

The takeaway: The DSM and ICD give clinicians a shared language, but the person is always bigger than the diagnosis.

S4E163: Water Cooler Chat: “Why Didn’t the Family Do Something?” — The Role of Family in Mental Health Treatment

In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole tackles one of the more judgmental questions that can emerge after a mental health tragedy: “Why didn’t the family do something?”

Using the broader conversation surrounding the Lindsay Clancy case, Nicole explores the important role families can play in mental health treatment—from noticing changes and communicating concerns to using Releases of Information (ROIs) and advocating for coordinated care. But loving someone doesn’t make you their therapist, psychiatrist, or risk assessor.

For the OCD Family community, there’s an especially meaningful takeaway: we can influence, advocate, support, and show up without having absolute control over another person or the outcome.

S4E162: Water Cooler Chat: When A Medication List Becomes “Exhibit A”

In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole continues unpacking the broader mental health conversations surrounding the Lindsay Clancy case—this time examining psychiatric medications and the conclusions we draw from a medication list.

From her perspective as a licensed therapist, Nicole explores risk-benefit decisions, correlation versus causation, side effects, communication between providers, and the important role therapists and families can play in coordinated care. Most importantly, she challenges the temptation to use hindsight to turn a list of medications into an explanation for a complex clinical outcome.

The takeaway: A medication list is important data—but it isn’t a case formulation, and sometimes the most responsible answer is, “We don’t have enough information to know.”

This episode is educational and is not medical advice. Medication decisions should be made with a qualified prescribing professional.

S4E161: Water Cooler Chat: When Intrusive Thoughts Enter The Courtroom

The Lindsay Clancy trial has ignited intense conversation—and plenty of confusion—around maternal mental health and the meaning of “intrusive thoughts.” In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole Morris, LMFT examines why clinical language matters, particularly when distinguishing postpartum OCD, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, and postpartum psychosis. We’ll also unpack an especially important reminder for anyone frightened by their own mind: an intrusive thought is not the same as desire, intent, action, or psychosis.

Disclaimer: This episode is educational and is not intended to diagnose Lindsay Clancy or offer an opinion regarding criminal responsibility.

In this episode, Nicole Morris, LMFT sits down with Michael Parker, LCSW (OCD Space) for a deep dive into Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and some of the most common questions surrounding this evidence-based OCD treatment approach.

Together, they explore inferential confusion, feared possible selves, differences between ERP and I-CBT, and why emotionally powerful feelings do not equal evidence that OCD’s story is true.

S4E158: OCD Treatment: Learning to Sail & Calm the Storm with Dr. Michael Greenberg

In this episode of the OCD Family Podcast, Nicole Morris welcomes back Dr. Michael Greenberg, licensed clinical psychologist and creator of Rumination-Focused ERP, to explore a deeper way of understanding OCD.

Dr. Greenberg shares insights from his article “OCD as a Defense Mechanism,” where he integrates behavioral approaches like ERP with psychoanalytic perspectives on emotional conflict and relational development. Together, Nicole and Michael discuss how OCD symptoms may function as defenses that displace difficult emotions into obsessions and compulsions.

This conversation invites clinicians, families, and those with lived experience to consider a both-and approach to OCD treatment—one that addresses symptoms while also exploring the emotional dynamics that may fuel them.

S4E157: Self Care Isn't Selfish - Especially with OCD

In this shorter check-in episode, Nicole shares why choosing rest and regulation over pressure and perfection is sometimes the most important OCD work we can do. When life feels chaotic, self-care isn’t avoidance—it’s protecting your nervous system.

She also announces the re-release of key early episodes on YouTube, including conversations on supporting adult children with OCD and navigating higher levels of care.

If you’re overwhelmed or newly navigating OCD, this is your reminder: you’re not alone—and there is hope.

S4E156: New Year, Same Fear

After an unplanned pause, Nicole is back—and she’s getting real about it. In this candid check-in episode, she shares why stepping away without over-explaining was actually an act of response prevention, not disappearance. OCD often demands perfection, performance, and constant reassurance—but sometimes the most regulated choice is silence.

As 2026 begins, she explores how “new year, same fear” can feel especially true with transitions and added pressure. OCD doesn’t reset at midnight. Still, familiar fear doesn’t mean lifelong suffering. Drawing from her experience as both a clinician and someone in recovery, Nicole reminds listeners that evidence-based treatments like ERP, ICBT, ACT, and medication offer real hope.

If you’re struggling—or supporting someone who is—this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone. We can sit with discomfort, choose values over fear, and build hope, even in quiet seasons.
