Sexual Orientation OCD | Ep 27

In honor of Pride Month, Erin aims to help you understand and manage Sexual Orientation OCD, empowering you to live a more authentic and less anxiety-driven life. Erin explains the nature of this disorder, how it can cause intrusive and distressing thoughts about one's sexual orientation, and how it often conflicts with your personal values.

Erin is offering an early bird on her upcoming mindfulness podcast called Sole Sync. Reserve your 1 year access with special pricing today.
