S3E138: WCC: A Justice-Based Approach To Core Fears In OCD (Pride Edition)
In this Pride Edition of the Water Cooler Chat series, join Nicole as she explores how justice-based ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) can respectfully and effectively target core fears in OCD—especially within LGBTQIA+ contexts. Three examples are covered: SO-OCD (Sexual Orientation OCD), Relationship OCD, and Moral Scrupulosity tied to queer identity. The episode emphasizes that treatment should honor identity, not erase it, and provides value-driven, identity-affirming interventions that align with dignity and justice. Whether you're queer, questioning, or an ally, this episode offers empowering insights for recovery.
