ABOUT THIS EPISODE
OCD Explained: Intrusive Thoughts, Compulsions & ERP Therapy
What if everything you thought you knew about OCD was only part of the story?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is often misunderstood, reduced to excessive cleaning, organizing, or checking. But for many people, the most exhausting battles are the ones nobody can see.
In this episode of Beyond the Window, La Ventana's Chief Clinical Officer, Sharon Wolner, welcomes Andrew Cohen, LMFT, founder of Cohen OCD Therapy, for an eye-opening conversation about intrusive thoughts, hidden compulsions, and the surprising ways OCD can influence everyday life.
Drawing from his own personal experience and years of clinical work, Andrew challenges common misconceptions and explores why OCD is so frequently misdiagnosed, how loved ones can unknowingly reinforce the cycle, and what makes effective treatment different.
Whether you're navigating OCD yourself, supporting someone you love, or simply curious about how the mind works, this is a conversation worth hearing.
