In this 4th of July episode of The OCD Family Podcast, Nicole shares practical strategies for managing OCD during the holidays. She reminds listeners that intrusive thoughts and obsessional doubts don’t take a day off—but we don’t owe OCD anything in return. From respecting your sensory needs to practicing ERP in alignment with your values, the episode encourages flexible, empowered choices. Nicole also touches on I-CBT strategies to help listeners “pop out” of the OCD bubble and reconnect with what matters most. So join the conversation for a supportive, honest, and actionable water cooler chat for OCD warriors and their families.

In this Water Cooler Chat, Nicole dives into two of her favorite worlds—OCD and true crime—to unpack how our brains interpret evidence. Using courtroom logic as a guide, she explores the difference between reasonable inference and inferential confusion, a common thinking trap in OCD. With real-world and courtroom examples, Nicole shows how OCD relies on imagined possibilities, self-doubt, and irrelevant associations—while fact-based reasoning, like in a trial, asks for direct evidence. It’s a mental mistrial when OCD plays judge and jury, but this episode helps listeners spot the difference and reclaim clarity. So join the conversation, because OCD doesn’t get the final verdict.
