Our Check-In this week delves into the world of obsessive intrusive thoughts. Jason’s Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is very much a type called Pure O or Purely Obsessive. This week Jason has been obsessing over his health in an unhealthy way. Battling with a bombardment of intrusive thoughts is exhausting. We discuss some coping strategies and our experiences with these thoughts and the spirals that can result from them.

In this week’s Deep Dive Lorri brings the subject of Hypersensitivity to the table. We talk about how some people are born hypersensitive, while others come to it through traumatic experiences.
