A really broad range of topics discussed, with Kristina’s open-mindedness, empathy and deep knowledge.
Highly recommend to find out what makes your OCD tick and preventative measures to control your OCD attacks.
Always informative with wonderful guests. Just listened to Episode 100 about the intersection of OCD and spirituality. Very helpful. As an OCD treatment specialist, it’s often difficult to watch what had once been a source of comfort (spiritual practices) become torturous for clients. Great discussion!
OCD is highly treatable!! Kristina’s podcast and Instagram have really helped me a lot.
This is a great podcast that helps normalize and educate anything OCD. I love that this therapist has lived experience both personally and clinically. She totally normalizes and reduces the shame involved with having OCD.
