Hi guys welcome back to preview alliance it is and Whitney. We are in the month of May. You guys are probably like, yes, I know, I'm listening up for week. I know what month it is, Sarah.

You're on the up and up. So, this week, I don't feel like many people hit on it talk about it

But guess what we're going to what is postpartum O. C. D. Okay, so postpartum O. C.D. is not necessarily what people think of O. C. D.

being. So here's my little therapy soapbox right here. So O. C. D does not mean that you

want things organized.

And I think I have, and I'm going to be honest, I had that like conception of it.

Yeah.

Well, and some people can be very compulsive of, I have to have things at an angle,

or I have to do this and this and this.

Yeah, that can be a little obsessive. That can be very type A, but OCD is when you have

obsessive thoughts about something and you have to do a

compulsion to complete that obsessive thought to try and make it go away.

Okay. Now that being said germophobia can absolutely fall into that category because I've worked with

clients before where they felt like they had to Clorox the handle to the fridge before they opened it,

otherwise they were going to

contaminate the food they ate. So let's just say they clarks the fridge handle a couple of times.

Open it up, they get the milk out, put the milk on the counter, the door closes, because that happens, right?

They have to rechlorox that handle to get something else out.

Okay, so it is, you having these thoughts, you have to do an action, to make the thought go away.

Okay.

So again, you know, you can have that germophobia thing where you feel like you have to wipe

something down, otherwise there's a contamination issue and it's inevitable.
