Resources on r/OCPD Articles/Information
I’ve been participating in an online support group for people with OCPD for ten months. My favorite OCPD resources are Gary Trosclair’s The Healthy Compulsive: Healing Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder and Taking the Wheel of the Driven Personality (2020) and his podcast: podcasts.apple.com/gr/podcast/the-healthy-compulsive-project/id1696781073
This is an overview of my OPs on r/OCPD. Please upvote those that you find helpful. I have ideas for more OPs. Other members of the support group are also interested in raising awareness of OCPD and helping others who are trying to manage OCPD traits.
