Le sigh.Next, Leela shares her experience performing at an open mic hosted by the amazing community at OCD Gamechangers, highlighting why supportive spaces matter so much for people with OCD.Then we dive into our main topic: Magical Thinking OCD, what it is, how it overlaps with other OCD subtypes, why it’s not “cute witchy whimsy,” and how it can show up as illogical but overwhelming fears and rituals. If you’ve ever wondered whether magical thinking is “a thing” in OCD, this deep dive is for you.Pri wraps things up with a spooky history segment: the eerie tale of Room 8 at Gadsby’s Tavern, because every episode deserves a little ghostly storytelling.So pour yourself a cup of your favorite tea, settle in, and get ready for curiosity, compassion, and a dash of spooky fun, all in very good company.I'm, like, totally obsessed with...OCD GamechangersOCDIOCDFNOCDMagical Thinking OCD (NOCD)Don't forget about Authentic Connections Counseling webinar on November 20th.
