I am grateful that watching that show got me to this site, helped me realize what is happening to me and that i am not alone. I am starting therapy this week. But I have to say, I have watched it a couple of times and sometimes feel they go overboard...and maybe expose too much about people. I worry that these people will be ridiculed or shunned by those who have seen the show and dont understand the OCD (why cant she just stop it...blah bah blah). There was one girl with a pooh issueand I felt they should not have aired that - it was so damaging to her and her family (I thought anyway). It was disturbing to watch. I also cant help but wonder from my experience living in Los Angeles if the show is not taking advantage of people who are not in a healthy state of mind. What I mean by that is if they were, they would never have gone on that show. And that episode where the therpaist had the girl put a knife to her throat? Come on! That was crazy...or am I too sensitive. Anyway I would love to hear your opinions. :) Lip Picker Acne Picker.
