You Are Not Your Thoughts

This podcast was revelatory. Informative, illuminating, clear. Alegra and Amanda were the perfect duo to put the spotlight on such a misunderstood condition. Thank you for presenting this topic on your podcast.

OCD with Alegra

I love this podcast, the issues that are brought to the surface are life events people normally do not want to talk about. I experienced OCD thoughts after having my child at 20 years old. I remember being so frightened of my thoughts after bringing my new born home, one day I sat outside my doctor’s office in my car and wouldn’t leave until he saw me. I am now 53 years old and two of my three children suffer with OCD thoughts. One child refuses medication and my other child takes meds and has a therapist. As a mother, I always feared that one of my children would suffer with compulsive thoughts, but having two children has been so heart breaking as I know their internal mental struggle. I have shared this podcast with both my children. Thank you for sharing WE CAN DO HARD THINGS.
