#168 - How OCD Treatment Techniques Go Beyond Just OCD Treatment with Elysse Lescarbeau

In this episode, I talk to OCD and anxiety advocate, Elysse Lescarbeau, about techniques typically reserved for OCD and anxiety are actually beneficial for everyone. We also discuss..

• Her "Stay PUT" method of managing anxiety in the moment
• Our 5 strategies typically reserved for OCD/anxiety that can be helpful for all individuals
• Why and how ERP is absolutely necessary for OCD and anxiety recovery

Elysse Lescarbeau (@ocd.or.just.me) has A LOT of lived experience with mental health issues with diagnoses. Elysse had been struggling in silence due to a lack of OCD awareness - she thought her obsessive thoughts and mental only compulsions were “just her”. A year after being hospitalized for SI, with a long overdue OCD diagnosis and treatment under her belt, she hopes to offer others the knowledge she wished she’d had - how OCD can present very differently from common media portrayals, why gold standard therapy techniques for OCD can go beyond treating acute symptoms, and how recovery and a less anxious life IS possible. 

Follow her on Instagram @ocd.or.just.me and check out her free resource - the Values in Action Digital Workbook (https://stan.store/ocdorjustme/p/free-find-my-values-worksheet) - for her tried and true techniques to take value-driven action everyday, even while anxious.
