Ciara Parsons used to spend her nights checking locks, checking the oven, and checking if the straightener was accidentally left on. Then checking again. And again. She felt like a zombie, running on two or three hours of sleep and living in a constant fog of dread. The desire to actually be present in her own life is what finally pushed her to get help.
In this video, Ciara, co-host of the @ladiesandtangents podcast opens up about what life looked like at her lowest moments with OCD, how exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy through NOCD helped her go from performing happiness to genuinely feeling it, and how learning to manage OCD led to some of the best moments of her life.
