The truth about telling people you have OCD

When Brenna Posey first learned of her OCD, she kept it to herself for years — afraid no one would understand what she was going through. She worried people would either dismiss it or get scared by how deeply it affected her. And as the oldest sibling, she wasn’t used to people worrying about her. But everything started to change the moment Brenna opened up to her family. What she found wasn’t judgment — it was support.

In this video, Brenna shares the turning points that helped her go from silence to honesty, how she talks about OCD with loved ones now, and the steps that made those conversations easier.

If you're struggling with OCD, our NOCD therapists might be able to help. They are specially trained in ERP therapy — the most effective treatment against OCD. To learn about treatment options, book a free 15-minute call at https://learn.nocd.com/podcast
