About this listen
To an outsider, Francesca’s excessive cleaning rituals at the height of her distress could have been interpreted as someone who had an intense phobia of dirt.
The 39-year-old has lived most of her life with metaphysical contamination OCD.
But as Francesca explains in this podcast, her OCD was an anxiety-driven response that wasn’t about a fear of dirt or germs, but a feeling of mental contamination.
Juliette also speaks with Francesca’s ex-husband Glenn, to hear the lessons he learnt from being a support person.
Funded by the Mental Health Foundation of NZ, Like Minds Like Mine, supported by NZME.
