The Overlap Between OCD and Anxiety Explained

OCD and anxiety can feel like the same storm — the same rush of fear, the same urge to escape, the same feeling that something is about to go wrong. They feed into each other so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. NOCD therapist Shauna Pichette knows that feeling better than anyone.

She lived most of her life feeling crippling anxiety. But little did she know, most of her symptoms were actually OCD. In this interview, Shauna talks about how she finally connected the dots, what else she’s learned about the overlap, and how learning to sit with discomfort helped her take her life back.
