Eva Gutowski Thought She Was Just “Weird” — It Was Actually OCD

Eva Gutowski spent most of her life thinking something was just... off. She had intense fears (including of ketchup), strict rules in her head, and thoughts that wouldn’t leave her alone — but no one ever mentioned OCD. Not doctors, not teachers, not even friends. So she kept smiling, kept working, kept growing her social media channels to millions of followers, all while OCD quietly shaped everything in her life.


It wasn’t until years later that the patterns finally clicked. Eva joins the Get to know OCD podcast to share how her OCD flew under the radar for so long, what finally led to her diagnosis, and how understanding it changed the way she sees her past, her work, and herself.


Like Eva, many people live with OCD for years before realizing what it really is. At NOCD, our therapists specialize in identifying and treating OCD with ERP, the gold-standard therapy. To take the first step, book a free 15-minute call at https://learn.nocd.com/YT
