In this episode, I talked with Shaun Flores, OCD advocate, model, actor, and 2x Tedx Speaker to discuss his story as a black man with OCD. We talked about...
- the shame in some communities regarding mental health difficulties
- breaking the stigma associated with OCD
- his experiences with intrusive thoughts, before and after finding a therapist who helped him
