The OCD Whisperer Podcast with Kristina Orlova
The OCD Whisperer Podcast explores anxiety, OCD, and mental health through unscripted, human-centered conversations and personal stories. Featuring clinicians, creatives, public figures, and everyday people, the show looks at how anxiety, fear, pressure, and identity shape our lives — and how people learn to live alongside them.
Hosted by Kristina Orlova, a licensed therapist with lived experience of OCD, the podcast centers honest conversation over polished answers. Episodes are reflective, unscripted, and grounded in real life, allowing space for nuance, curiosity, and moments that don’t always resolve neatly.
This is a podcast for anyone who has questioned themselves, felt overwhelmed, or wondered what’s happening beneath the surface of anxiety, OCD, and mental health — and what it means to be human while living with it.

Learn all things OCD with the OCD Whisperer Podcast.
*(This episode is week late due to me getting ill.)
Today I share something personal about how my own OCD has been showing up in my business and how observing my own obsessive mind using ERP and IBT has been helping me to stop the OCD cycle.
Inference Based Therapy is a metacognitive therapy for OCD. The goal is to help a person understand how their reasoning errors lead them into their OCD bubble of imagination. And all of it starts with obsessive doubt.

Learn all things OCD with the OCD Whisperer Podcast.
Today I discuss self-punishment as a compulsion.
You may want to start a log to track your triggers, obsessions, and how you compulse to increase your self -awareness.
I also mentioned thought -action fusion (hint: its when you believe just the act of having a bad thought is the same as acting on it)
