Who we are

Intrusive Thoughts Unmasked isn’t a traditional interview show, it’s a lived-experience space. Each episode brings you directly into the raw, unfiltered reality of life with intrusive thoughts. You’ll hear regular contributors, personal stories, and the under-discussed truths of what OCD actually feels like from those of us who have had to hide behind the mask.

Here, you get to take off that mask to be seen, understood, and accepted.
