Growing up with OCD and PTSD and Recovering with Exposure Therapy with Teagan Miller
In this episode, I meet with fellow OCD advocate, Teagan Miller – otherwise known as @obsessively.tea.
We talk about..
- OCD symptoms and themes that came out throughout childhood, adolescence, and adulthood
- how she handles the overlap of PTSD, OCD, and depression
- what recovered life looks like for her now and what others can expect out of recovery
To follow along on Teagan’s journey, you can follow her on Instagram at @obsessively.tea

This post is going to be a real tough moment for you if you’ve ever felt like a passive participant in your OCD and anxiety recovery, and just super stuck its grips. So, if you’ve ever felt like OCD, intrusive thoughts or anxiety is something that just “happened to you”, meaning it’s something that you feel really powerless against. I want you to hang with me because I’m going to share a mindset shift that can change everything! You are not a passive participant in your OCD and anxiety recovery journey, and the more that we take action, the more power you take back.
So today, I am going to explain what I mean and how you can start taking back control.
In this episode, we are going to be talking about:
- Having OCD and anxiety is not your fault, but it is now your responsibility
- How you can take back your power
- How OCD and anxiety can pull you into a frustrating cycle
- How you can (and should!) still do enjoyable things even though they have OCD and anxiety
