Today, we’re talking to Jeff Szymanski, Ph.D.Jeff is the executive director of the International OCD Foundation, and author of The Perfectionist's Handbook.  In this episode, Jeff tells us about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a disorder that is com-morbid with ADHD.  Jeff talks about what OCD is and isn’t, what it’s like to live with the disorder, and methods of treatment - many of which are just great anxiety management and self-improvement strategies in general, including self-compassion, why facing adversity and confronting our fears is so important for all of us, and the power of doing hard things. A brief disclaimer.  OCD can sometimes be accompanied by pretty grim thoughts that are diametrically opposed to the values of the person who has it.  We do spend a few minutes discussing what that might look like, so this episode is a bit darker than our norm.   I know some of you listen to the show as a family.  Please preview this one before listening to it with your kids.
