Show Notes

On this episode of The OCD Chronicles, I’m talking to Dr. Katie Gordon.

Katie is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in cognitive-behavioural therapy, and she’s done research work in the field of eating disorders. So far, so relevant to both this podcast and my own personal journey... Katie is also the co-host of the Psychodrama podcast. And yet the main reason why I wanted to talk to Katie for this episode was to learn more about her new book,The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook: CBT Skills to Reduce Emotional Pain, Increase Hope, and Prevent Suicide. There’s much real talk contained within, but I wanted to say something before you dive in. If you’re thinking of listening to this podcast, chances are you struggle with OCD too. I know the pain you’re in. I know how hard it can be. But please know how sincere I am when I say this... I really would like you to stay.
