Obsessions, Compulsions, and Control: How OCD Intertwines with Eating Disorders
When people think of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), they often picture behaviors like hand-washing or checking locks. Yet OCD is much more complex, involving obsessive thoughts—unwanted, intrusive ideas—and compulsions, which are actions or mental rituals used to ease the anxiety these thoughts trigger.

Meet San Diego’s Eating Disorder and Social Justice Therapist Allyson Ford, LPCC
Get to know San Diego eating disorder therapist Allyson Inez Ford, LPCC (@bodyjustice.therapist on instagram). After spending time on her awesome IG feed, I got to know Allyson personally a couple of months ago. What stood out to me is her passion for having social justice serve as a cornerstone for her eating disorder therapy practice in San Diego. In these challenging times, it is more important than ever. Allyson feels especially connected to BIPOC individuals, especially those who are mixed race. She is an important addition to the San Diego eating disorder community.
