The “What If” OCD Thought That Took Over My Life
William Schultz, therapist and former OCD sufferer who recovered through ERP and now leads OCD Twin Cities. He recounts how a single "what if" thought spiraled into fears of STDs, needles, rabies, and distrust of memory. The conversation covers escalation from checking to avoidance, why ERP felt terrifying, and the turning point when he chose confronting OCD over perceived safety.
