43: Do I Have Anxiety or OCD? Understanding OCD with Guest Carrie Bock | OCD Awareness Week

Welcome to this episode of The Mental Health Coach podcast! This week is OCD Awareness Week, and we’re diving into an important conversation about obsessive-compulsive disorder with a special guest, Carrie Bock. Carrie is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping people navigate the challenges of OCD. Together, we’ll explore the difference between OCD and anxiety, what exacerbates symptoms of OCD, how it impacts people's lives, and what effective treatment looks like.

 

OCD Awareness Week is dedicated to raising awareness, reducing stigma, and providing education about OCD. People with OCD often experience significant distress and impairment in their daily functioning due to their symptoms and around 1/3 of people with OCD do not receive the treatment that they need. Many misconceptions surround the disorder, and this week is an opportunity to provide important information about OCD while dispelling myths and encouraging those who are struggling to seek the treatment they need. Whether you're seeking a better understanding of OCD or looking for ways to support someone with it, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Let’s dive in!

Hi friend!
If you've been around for a while, you know I'm passionate about helping you feel less overwhelmed and more connected to yourself and your loved ones. Just like physical fitness or achieving work and financial goals, good mental health requires intentionality—building routines, structure, and practices that support your well-being.

If you're ready to feel more present and less stressed, the first step is identifying the practices that work best for you and making them a priority. That's why I created a free guide: 5 Steps to Discover and Implement Your Non-Negotiables: A Busy Parent’s Guide to Feeling Less Overwhelmed and More Present.

This guide will help you uncover what you need to feel grounded and give you a plan to make it part of your daily life.
