This one’s all about lived experience: What's it like to have OCD? What’s the therapy all about? How do you support people with it? And how to accept the darkest thoughts that might haunt you. As a bonus to last week’s OCD Neurobiology episode with Dr. Wayne Goodman, the wonderful neuroscientist, board-certified mental health peer specialist, and survivor Uma Chatterjee joins to share her experience living with OCD, and how it inspired a career in research and mental health advocacy. This bonus episode is wall-to-wall heart-warming compassion and real world perspective from someone who cares deeply. OCD is a bitch, but Uma’s a gem. <a href="http://ologies.com/">Ologies episodes, listed by topic</a>Visit Uma’s <a href="https://umarchatterjee.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umarchatterjee/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/umarchatterjee" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/umarchatterjee.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Listen to her podcast, <a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/umarchatterjee/" target="_blank">A Chat with Uma</a>A donation went to <a href="https://ocdwisconsin.org/" target="_blank">OCD Wisconsin</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ocdbonus">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ocdneurobiology">Obsessive-Compulsive Neurobiology (OCD)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/adhd">Attention-Deficit Neuropsychology (ADHD)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/molecularneurobiology">Molecular Neurobiology (BRAIN CHEMICALS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/procrastination">Volitional Psychology (PROCRASTINATION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/suicidology">Suicidology (SUICIDE PREVENTION & AWARENESS)</a>,  <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/traumatology">Traumatology (PTSD)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/disabilitysociology">Disability Sociology (DISABILITY PRIDE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/tiktokology">Tiktokology (THE TIKTOK APP) with Hank Green</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/psychedeliology">Psychedeliology (HALLUCINOGENS)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" target="_blank">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
