Dr Steven Phillipson: Look at you looking at me, and other niche OCD spike themes (#488)

In episode 488 I chat with Dr Steven Phillipson. Steven is a licensed clinical psychologist who specialises in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for OCD. Steven is the Clinical Director at the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy in New York.

We discuss the worries that come up around getting obsessed with others responses to us - what Steve calls look at you looking at me, olfactory obsessions, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and other niche OCD spike themes including, worrying if your child is your child, worrying about a loved one having been abducted by aliens and replaced, worries about being in a simulation, worries about being God, worrying your partner is not the sexual orientation they say they are, worrying about catching someones undesirable aspects of their character, and much more. Hope it helps.
