In this episode of The OCD Confessional, Liam Martin and Alicia Hill welcome Dr. Lisa W. Coyne, one of the world’s leading experts on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Dr. Coyne is a licensed clinical psychologist, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School, Senior Clinical Consultant at McLean Hospital’s Child and Adolescent OCD Institute (OCDI Jr.), and a member of the Clinical and Scientific Advisory Board of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF).
She has published extensively on OCD, anxiety, and parenting, and is the author of several influential books, including The Joy of Parenting, Stuff That’s Loud: A Teen’s Guide to Unspiraling When OCD Gets Noisy, Stop Avoiding Stuff, and Tired of Teen Anxiety: A Young Person’s Guide to Discovering Your Best Life.
Together, we dive into what OCD really is and the evidence-based tools that can help people manage symptoms and reclaim their lives. From Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to practical coping strategies, Dr. Coyne’s insights make this a must-listen for anyone living with OCD, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to better understand this often misunderstood disorder.
