We all experience thoughts that can feel distressing and sometimes pull us away from how we want to be living our life. For people living with OCD, this experience is amplified.

This week, Bryan talks to Dr. Marisa Mazza who is helping people living with OCD maneuver the noise of their mind and lean into what’s most important to them. She talks about disengaging from our thoughts, rooting into our values, and her definition of what it means to "live well".

Dr. Mazza is a licensed psychologist, and founder of choicetherapy, a group practice specializing in evidence-based treatments for OCD and anxiety. She is also faculty at the International OCD Foundation's Behavioral Therapy Training Institute, and author of "The ACT Workbook for OCD: Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Exposure Skills to Live Well with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder".
