Ep. 85: Harm OCD with Jon Hershfield

Overcoming Harm OCD with Jon Hershfield

Welcome back to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast. Today we have a special guest, Jon Hershfield, LMFT. Jon has been on the show already and is a favorite among the CBT School-ers.

Today, Jon and I talk about how to manage specific obsessions related to violence and physical harm. In OCD terms, we call it Harm Obsessions or Harm OCD (if you meet the requirements for a diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD).

In this episode, Jon answers some important questions such as:

  • Does everyone have Harm Obsessions, thoughts, impulses or images?
  • Why do these Harm Obsessions bother some people and not others?
  • What is the difference between a Harm OCD and having thoughts about harm?
  • Are people with Harm OCD any different than those who have other types of OCD?
  • How do we treat Harm OCD?

This was such a fun episode and I really hope it helps those with harm obsessions, thoughts, images, impulses, and urges (Harm OCD).
