About this listen
In this compelling episode, Nik and Eva dive into the story of Andrew, who shares his struggle with OCD and the profound impact of childhood trauma. Andrew recounts a harrowing period in 2004 when his younger brother, Luke, was terminally ill, leading to a highly publicised right-to-life case. Living in the shadow of his brother's illness and the ensuing media invasion, Andrew faced immense pressure and responsibility from a young age. With his mother frequently at the hospital, Andrew felt the weight of being the 'man of the house,' protecting his younger sister and maintaining a sense of security. This episode unravels Andrew's OCD behaviours, which began to surface seriously five to six years ago, and the triggering effect of moving into his own home. Through insightful conversations, Nik and Eva shed light on the intricate link between childhood trauma and adult OCD behaviours.
