Listen "I'm An Author and I Have OCD"
Episode Synopsis
Emily Barth Isler grew up believing her anxious, obsessive thoughts were just part of being an artist. Like so many, she bought into the myth that suffering fuels creativity. For years, that belief kept her from seeking help — until she realized the opposite was true.Today, Emily is a successful author and writer who credits therapy and medication for giving her the clarity and freedom to put words to paper. In this conversation, she shares how OCD once controlled her life and how she learned to see its patterns differently. At NOCD, we specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, the most effective treatment against the disorder. Want to explore your treatment options?
