#158 - Dealing with Relationship OCD and Contamination OCD as a Man with Justin Mendez

Dealing with Relationship OCD and Contamination OCD as a Man with Justin Mendez

In this episode, I meet with fellow OCD advocate, Justin Mendez. He talks to me about his lived experience with relationship OCD as well as contamination OCD.

- The difficulties of personal development concepts like "you are your thoughts" and "what you think about is what you attract"

- Having to travel for work despite his contamination OCD and how he deals with this

- The challenges of when OCD is actually "right" and something bad does happen - and how to cope
