In this episode, I talk with OCD warrior and mental health advocate, Jessie Burnbaum, about her experience of living with OCD and a chronic illness. Jessie co-founded the IOCDF Chronic Illness/Disability Speciality Interest Group and helps lead virtual meet-ups for the IOCDF Young Adult Special Interest Group. We discuss..
– the parallels of having a chronic illness and OCD
– how OCD and anxiety can be particularly challenging when you have a chronic illness
– ways in which ERP can differ for chronically ill patients
– how Jessie's medical journey forced her to face some of her biggest exposures
– how having a chronic illness is the ultimate ”unknown”/”uncertainty” and tips for coping
