NOCD therapist Mia Nunez had always imagined what life would feel like after having a baby. What she didn’t expect was how quickly her own mind would turn into the most frightening part of the experience. Within days, intrusive thoughts began showing up that felt violent, disturbing, and completely incompatible with who she knew herself to be. The fear was immediate and overwhelming, and it came alongside postpartum OCD and depression she hadn’t seen coming.In this conversation, Mia speaks candidly about an issue affecting a growing number of new mothers — and one that’s still rarely talked about. She draws perspective from her lived experience, but also clinical work. Mia explains down what postpartum OCD actually looks like from the inside, why these thoughts are so terrifying, and how understanding what’s happening can be the first step toward relief.NOCD specializes in exposure and response prevention therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD.
