    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses personal experiences with OCD which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.

    Welcome to another episode of 'PLEASE EXCUSE MY OCD.' Today is a very special Mother's Day episode and so I figured we could highlight Moms with OCD! Today, I’m joined by my friend Erin Jones! Erin Jones, LCMHC, is a therapist at Bull City Anxiety and OCD Treatment Center based out of Durham, NC, where she specializes in OCD and related disorders. She works with kids, teens, and adults and has extensive experience working with mothers/parents with OCD, especially considering she is one herself!

    As always, I am not a therapist, these episodes should never take the place of medically trained advice. If you are struggling, please seek advice from a trained medical professional.

    Each week, join me as I delve into the realities of living with OCD. From personal anecdotes to real world insights, this podcast is a perfect blend of encouragement, tools and honest conversation.

  • Do You Know How To Turn Off The Lights? | An OCD Short Film
    2025/02/16

    "Do You Know How to Turn Off the Lights?" is a powerful short film that takes you inside the relentless cycle of obsessive-compulsive disorder. This short film is based on a spoken word piece I wrote about the intrusive thought battle that I’ve fought thousands of times; every time I’ve left a room, used a public bathroom, or tried to move on without certainty. This film captures the exhausting reality of OCD beyond stereotypes and hopes to change your mind on what it truly means to have OCD.Written by: Tyler FalcoaScreenplay by: Mitch FrancisDirected by: Mitch FrancisProduced by: Tyler Falcoa, Mitch FrancisLocations Manager: Ray FalcoaTo learn more about OCD, visit The International OCD Foundation hereTo learn more about the podcast "Please Excuse My OCD" visit hereTo see Mitch's other films visit here
