A blue background with the text OHC Episode 179: How hoarding behaviours develop and early intervention for hoarding disorder, with Dr Victoria Ruby-Granger. the words That Hoarder Overcome Compulsive Hoarding Podcast overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk are written at the bottom of the image. There is also an image which looks like four hand-drawn Lego building blocks with one block in the process of being added to a stack of blocks.

My OCD causes me to constantly seek reassurance from people around me that I didn't accidentally cause harm. I love for you that your OCD causes you to be slightly miffed when rugs aren't lined up.
