02 - Inflated Responsibility, Mermaids, Imaginary Exposure, Jennifer Lopez Unravelling

In this episode, we look at how OCD can lead to feelings of inflated responsibility, and how this have an impact on your day-to-day routines. After that, I talk about a technique I have used with some success for managing my OCD. This technique is call "Imaginal Exposure" and it's a great way to still get your exposure therapy during a lockdown from the comfort of your own home and without putting yourself at risk. All you need is a pen and paper!
Also a brief chat about how JLo gets me out of my anxiety.
