    S3E141: Water Cooler Chats: Mental Mistrial - How OCD Twists Reasonable Doubt

    In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole dives into two of her favorite worlds—OCD and true crime—to unpack how our brains interpret evidence. Using courtroom logic as a guide, she explores the difference between reasonable inference and inferential confusion, a common thinking trap in OCD. With real-world and courtroom examples, Nicole shows how OCD relies on imagined possibilities, self-doubt, and irrelevant associations—while fact-based reasoning, like in a trial, asks for direct evidence. It’s a mental mistrial when OCD plays judge and jury, but this episode helps listeners spot the difference and reclaim clarity. So join the conversation, because OCD doesn’t get the final verdict.

    In this Pride Edition of the Water Cooler Chat series, join Nicole as she explores how justice-based ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) can respectfully and effectively target core fears in OCD—especially within LGBTQIA+ contexts. Three examples are covered: SO-OCD (Sexual Orientation OCD), Relationship OCD, and Moral Scrupulosity tied to queer identity. The episode emphasizes that treatment should honor identity, not erase it, and provides value-driven, identity-affirming interventions that align with dignity and justice. Whether you're queer, questioning, or an ally, this episode offers empowering insights for recovery.
