OCD and guilt are inextricably linked. This week Leela and Pri get into why.
Guilt in OCD isn't the same as ordinary guilt. It's the brain convincing you that you are fundamentally responsible for things you didn't do, couldn't have prevented, or that never even happened. This week Leela and Pri unpack the specific way OCD weaponises guilt and how it feels to live in an always guilty mind.
But first: Leela has been telling Pri scary stories since they were children. The problem is that Leela always scared herself. We get the lore. Then: the great iced coffee at job interviews debate, is it unprofessional, is it a power move, or is it just a cold drink? Leela and Pri have opinions.
And to close: Leela tells the story of Clara, who goes to stay alone in her grandmother's house in the Appalachian mountains. The house is quiet. The night is long. And then someone, or something, comes to visit.
Pour your tea. Turn on all the lights. Don't answer the door. ☕
