Meet Liza’s guest, Jenna Overbaugh
I’ve been working with individuals who have OCD, anxiety, and related conditions since 2008. My work includes nearly 10 years at the residential level of care as well as intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient levels. I have contributed to research on hoarding, dropout from residential OCD recovery programs, and relief experiences in OCD. I’m also the host of the podcast, “All The Hard Things”, which focuses on OCD, ERP, postpartum, and related concepts.
In addition to the above, I have a 4 year old and also struggled with OCD myself, specifically postpartum OCD. Since having my son in 2018, I started what is now one of the largest mom support groups in Wisconsin.
