Kerry Osborn believed her OCD was helping her — giving her a sense of control in situations that felt uncertain and overwhelming. What started after a traumatic experience slowly turned into a system of rules, rituals, and “if I do this, then nothing bad will happen” thinking that took over more and more of her life. It didn’t feel irrational at the time. It felt necessary.
In this episode, Kerry shares how OCD convinced her she had control, why that belief was so hard to let go of, and what changed when she finally started confronting it in therapy. It’s an honest look at how convincing OCD can be — and what it takes to break out of it.
