Episode 19 - Interview with Maeve Forti, part 2

An interview with our friend, Maeve Forti (part 2 of 2). Maeve is a multi-hyphenated powerhouse. She's a gifted improviser and talented actor on screen and on stage. And if that wasn't enough, Maeve is also an up-and-coming filmmaker and writer. We discuss her recent OCD diagnosis, living with ADHD and traumatic grief. Also, we talk about compulsions, using school to prove our normalcy and our psychiatrists not validating us enough.If you enjoyed Maeve's interview episodes, be sure to check out our interview with Ege Öztokat (episode 12).//More about Maeve://Website: maeveforti.com/IMDb: imdb.com/name/nm13410993/TikTok: @maeveefortiFacebook: @maeve40Instagram: @maevefortiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maeve-forti-901a88a8///Therapy acronyms mentioned//ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyAuDHD: (unofficial) a person with both Autism and ADHDBPD: Borderline Personality DisorderDSM-5: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental DisordersEMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and ReprocessingERP: Exposure and Response PreventionPTSD: Post-Traumatic Stress DisorderCPTSD: Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder//Links to resources mentioned//Y-BOCS (Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38380483/National Library of Medicine (avoidance behaviors in OCD): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6945296///Connect with Gabbie and Heather//Instagram: @comicallyexp.podcastInterwebs (email & voice message): comicallyexposed.com/Thank you for listening (and reading the show notes)!//Credits//Guest: Maeve FortiHosts: Gabbie Blachman & Heather NyeProducer & Graphic Designer: Heather NyeMusic by Gxldxn Fxnch - “Not Like the Other (Instrumental)” (Licensed through Track Club)Stock Photography by Jazmin Quaynor (Unsplash)
