In today’s episode, I’m joined by Emma Forbes, an OCD therapist based in the south of England. Emma shares her inspiring career journey, which began in nursing and evolved into opening her own private practice dedicated to supporting individuals living with OCD.
We explore her childhood as an only child, which she describes as idyllic before her parents separated. Emma reflects candidly on her mother’s struggles with OCD and how this shaped her upbringing, creating a contrast between the rigidity of life at her mother’s home and the freedom she experienced with her father.
Emma also opens up about her time working with the British Army and the unique challenges she faced as a woman striving to be seen as credible and professional in clinical settings.
It’s an insightful, honest, and deeply reflective conversation, and just the beginning of what Emma and I have to share. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss what’s next!
