You're listening to The O. C.D do this for interviewing inspired therapists,

psychologists and people who have experienced OCD. Welcome to the OCD stories.

And welcome to episode 334 of the show and in this one I got back on

Johnny Say. Johnny is a UK-based psychoph therapist and he was recently

co-therapist with me at the OCD camp.

So it's great to get Johnny back on and in particular we discuss

how he's doing his own mental health and how he practices self-compassioned daily.

We discuss shame in OCD, intrusive... and how he practices self-compassioned daily.

We discuss shame in O. C. D. Intrusive thoughts

and in doing compulsions.

We discuss the inner critic, self-compassion

and how it can help.

Building up psychological flexibility skills before exposure and response prevention therapy,

values-based exposures, dropping anchor, a compassionate approach to ERP and a much more.
