\u201cI\u2019m so OCD\u201d has become a colloquial saying. To someone who truly struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder, OCD, this can minimize the pain experienced with having this crippling mental health diagnosis.<\/p>\n

OCD is not a personality<\/a> flaw or willpower issue. It is not about a preference for organizing, cleaning, or perfectionism.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that 2-3%<\/a> of the national population is diagnosed with OCD in their lifetime. Of the adults who struggle with OCD, 50% are believed to have serious impairment in everyday functioning.<\/p>\n

This is why I\u2019m so excited to have Cristina Chua, MSW join us for this inspiring episode of the Essential Oil Revolution. She is one of the most compassionate, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable therapists and coaches around.<\/p>\n

Cristina is on a mission to help people reclaim their life from OCD and anxiety. Her technique is based on the physiology of trauma, neuroscience, emotional regulation, and mindful self-compassion. Cristina also incorporates aromatherapy into her work with her clients and her personal wellness practice.<\/p>\n

We need to have more available tools for mental health, so people don\u2019t feel like a treatment failure when conventional approaches don’t work for their brain. Cristina offers one such method to us.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an overview of what you will learn in the full episode<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n
