OCD Family Podcast

Nicole Morris is a licensed therapist and mental health correspondent who created OCD Family Podcast to serve the people who are often forgotten in OCD conversations: the family members. With 156 episodes and a 4.8-star rating, this weekly show addresses spouses, partners, parents, adult children, and chosen family of people living with OCD. Nicole covers the specific challenges of supporting someone with OCD -- navigating accommodation, understanding why reassurance makes things worse, and managing your own burnout without feeling guilty about it. She brings on clinical experts to discuss evidence-based treatments like ERP, I-CBT, and ACT, and she also covers related conditions like body-focused repetitive behaviors, ARFID, and body dysmorphic disorder. Episode formats vary widely, from 2-minute Water Cooler Chats to in-depth 90-minute conversations with researchers and clinicians. That range keeps the show from feeling monotonous. Nicole is direct about the emotional toll that OCD takes on relationships, and she gives concrete strategies rather than vague encouragement. This podcast fills a real gap -- most OCD shows speak to the person with OCD, while this one speaks to the people trying to love them well.
