    How much do you know about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Today I have Ben Locke on the podcast to talk about his intense struggles with the disorder and how it's not just the "clean-freak" condition so often portrayed in TV and film. We discuss the nature of obsessive thinking, the unfortunate cost of avoidance for fear of 'acting out' on intrusive thoughts, and how watching horror films became a mandatory assignment from Ben's therapist.

    Welcome back! Today we are joined by the ever insightful Lindsey Wayland. Lindsey takes us on a journey through the album, "I Love My Mom" by Indigo De Souza, explaining how the album helped carry her through a bout of severe depression. We discuss Lindsey's lifelong relationship to depression, the dizzying high's and low's navigating this world as a sensitive, empathic soul, and the mental roadblocks that keep us from expressing ourselves fully in art and in relationships.
