Story: Saleha Hansbhai (#287)

In episode 287 I interviewed Saleha Hansbhai who has kindly agreed to share her story. I chat with Saleha about her story, her earliest OCD memory, violent intrusive thoughts, religious themed OCD, seeking reassurance, checking, confessing, getting multiple incorrect diagnoses, having suicidal thoughts, medication, later on experiencing suicidal themed OCD, getting hospitalised, eventually getting the right diagnosis, starting Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP), going to the IOCDF conference, meeting others with OCD, relapsing, how her father now uses her experience to educate others in the Muslim community who are suffering, why she shares her story, words of hope, and much more. Hope it helps. Show notes: https://theocdstories.com/episode/story-saleha-287 The podcast is made possible by NOCD.
