Welcome to Around and Around – The OCD Circle. My name is Elizabeth and I have been living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for over 60 years. I am not a therapist or a member of the medical community. I’m just an ordinary person like yourself, who will be sharing my thoughts and experiences with you, with the hope that you will feel less alone. If you don’t have OCD, I hope you will learn some information that will help you understand this disorder better.

PURE OBSESSION: A CHAT WITH ZACHARY GITTELMAN
In today’s conversation, Zachary Gittelman, a 29-year-old living in Manhattan, shares his experience with Pure O, a form of OCD marked by distressing thoughts (obsessions) without visible compulsions.
His OCD symptoms became pronounced in his early 20s after moving away from his twin brother, with his obsessions often involving self-harm thoughts. Through years of therapy, including ERP (Exposure Response Therapy), Zachary has learned to manage his OCD and now helps others via his website, themangohealth.com,
which provides OCD resources and self-guided ERP tools.

Managing OCD During COVID: My First Experience and Key Lessons Learned (00:07:08)
Managing OCD During COVID: My First Experience and Key Lessons Learned
Today, I discuss my experience of having COVID for the
first time and how I managed my OCD during that period. I explored the challenges of balancing pandemic-related health anxieties with my OCD tendencies and the coping strategies I used, such as mindfulness and self-care.
I also reflect on what I learned about myself, including my resilience, the importance of accepting uncertainty, and developing self-compassion.

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT: JOSH KIRSCHENBAUM'S JOURNEY WITH OCD AND SELF-HEALING
In today's episode, I speak with Josh Kirschenbaum, a 39-year-old from Philadelphia who was diagnosed with OCD in his mid-30s. Big trigger warning here! Josh shares that he has experienced suicidal thoughts since the age of 6
and these are discussed throughout much of this episode.
He discusses the compulsive behaviors he developed, particularly while driving, and the challenges he's faced in relationships. Despite these struggles, Josh has worked through much of it using self-directed cognitive ehavioral therapy and is currently in a positive place in his life.

Unwelcome Guests: Navigating the Chaos of Intrusive Thoughts
I have been managing my OCD very well for the past few years without the assistance of medications and now without monthly therapy sessions. But that doesn’t mean things are perfect around here.
This week I talk about some of the recent obsessions I have been having and how I’ve dealt with them, also how I could have handled things differently to keep these thoughts from creeping in.
Let me know in the comments some of your recent intrusive thoughts and what you did about them.

something hilarious, whether she was writing about the trials of raising children, the challenges of marriage, or the absurdities of housework.
She authored several best-selling books, including "The
Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank" and "If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits?" Her humor resonated with millions of readers who found comfort and laughter in her honest portrayal
of the ups and downs of life.
Despite her humor, Bombeck also touched on serious topics, often with a poignant twist that revealed her depth of empathy and understanding. She was widely appreciated not just for making people laugh, but

MID-WEEK MOTIVATION - A LESSON FROM MY DRIVER'S ED INSTRUCTOR
Each Thursday morning I present you with a song, quote,poem or passage to bring some positivity to your week.
This week I reflect on a lesson I learned from my high
school driver’s education instructor. “Always drive at a speed that is safe for conditions.” I have remembered this lesson for over 45 years and I have applied it to other areas of my life. I tell you about how what I considered an “amazing weekend” ended in total chaos, due to circumstances beyond my control. And how applying this lesson, helped me get through it.

MID-WEEK MOTIVATION FROM THE DAILY STOIC. IT TAKES COURAGE TO MAKE CHANGES.
Each Thursday morning I present you with a song, quote,
poem or passage to bring some positivity to your week.
Today I will be reading a passage from “The Daily Stoic”,
written by Ryan Holiday. I heard about this book from my guest, Jaimi McPeek, in the episodes where we talked about self-love. There is one passage a day to read and think about. It takes about three minutes of my day and it is already changing my perceptions about situations I run across on a daily basis. I also write in my “Daily Stoic Journal” each night and I find it is really helping retrain my OCD brain.
