Hey guys and welcome to episode 156 of the Ocede stories.

Now I want to episode 156 of the OcedCD stories.com podcast. Now I want to thank you all first of all for

tuning in again to another episode of the podcast. I appreciate your time and wherever you

are listening to this on this wonderful blue planet of ours. Thank you.

And today's episode is with CBT therapist Rujy Raman.

Ruji is based in London and she works with all kinds of conditions such as depression, anxiety, but specifically in this one we'll be talking about O. C.D.

And in it, we discuss her O. C. D. story because she herself has a CD.

We talk about uncertainty, the very nature of it and working with it.

We talk about bringing in compassion to therapy.

We talk about adjusting therapy so when you need to be

flexible and adjust to the client and when you need to adjust with your

therapist. We talk about or she she talks about the important she found in just writing down her experience.

Not to necessarily share with anyone, although she is doing that now, but at the time it was just really to get it down on paper and kind of get it out of

her head.

So that was interesting.

She talks about the importance of a therapist, kind of being alongside you guiding you, coaching

you, and we go into various parts of

exposure response prevention therapy and starting ERP.

Roogee was actually the therapist of one of my former

podcast guests. So in this you may hear Ruji talking about a particular person and that is one of my former podcast guests.

So it's interesting to get Ruji's side of things and hopefully you find that useful.

And as always, thank you so much for listening.
