The Postpartum Struggle No One Talks About: OCD

Julia Hale is an OCD therapist, but nothing prepared her for the wave of intrusive thoughts and crushing doubt that hit after giving birth. Like many new parents, she had only ever heard postpartum depression talked about — never postpartum OCD. Even with all her training, she found herself blindsided by fears about her baby’s safety, compulsions to protect, and the shame of wondering how this could be happening to her of all people.


In this episode of the Get to know OCD podcast, Julia shares the reality of postpartum OCD: what it looks like, why it’s so often mistaken for depression, and how stigma keeps parents suffering in silence. Her perspective as both a clinician and a mom pulls back the curtain on a hidden struggle that affects far more families than most people realize.
