This week on No Restraints with Rudy Caseres my guest is Chrissie Hodges. Chrissie is an author, peer support, and OCD resource consultant. She’s spoken across the country on various OCD-related issues. One of her main focus points is Pure-O, otherwise known as Primarily Cognitive Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. For Chrissie, Pure-O manifests mostly as intrusive thoughts of violent or sexual nature. I admire Chrissie for being brave enough to speak openly about taboo subject matter and in doing so inspiring others to share their own stories. As a matter of fact, I admire her so much that I even drove 6 hours to San Francisco, where she received the 2017 Hero Award at the International OCD Foundation’s Annual Conference, just so I could meet her in person. You can learn more about Chrissie, including how to attend her upcoming event OCD Gamechangers at ChrissieHodges.com. You can also purchase her memoir PURE OCD: The Invisible Side of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder on Amazon. Finally, you can support Chrissie’s advocacy work with a monthly pledge on her Patreon.

Thanks for the support you have all shown me the past couple months. Please keep sharing and spreading the word. Why? Because it’s for your own good.

    ABOUT RUDY

    My name is Rudy Caseres and I am an award-winning public speaker, live-streaming, social media influencer/manager, and storytelling event producer. I am the host of No Restraints with Rudy Caseres where I have live interactive candid discussions with the leading advocates in mental health, human rights, and suicide prevention (currently on hiatus). I also host a monthly panel discussion for The Mighty with the leading mental health advocates in the world. I previously hosted SPSM Chat - Suicide Prevention Social Media where I led lively discussions with various experts in the field of suicidology. I advocate for humane treatment in the mental healthcare system and effective suicide prevention. I have given over 100 presentations in which I have shared my story of living with bipolar, surviving a mental breakdown while serving in the US Army, and fighting against forced psychiatric treatment in front of grad students, doctors, psych ward patients, educators, and youth at junior highs, high schools, and juvenile detention facilities. I have spoken across the country from the California State Capitol at an event headlined by legendary actor Richard Dreyfus to the Shedding Light on Mental Health Conference in Greater Wheeling, West Virginia. My content has been featured in The Mighty, This is My Brave, HealthyPlace, The S Word, OC87 Recovery Diaries, Sweatpants & Coffee, Stigma Fighters, and Schizophrenic NYC. In 2017, I was awarded the NAMI California Outstanding Peer of the Year and I was named one of The Mighty's Mental Health Heroes of 2017. After living in Los Angeles, California most of my life I recently relocated to the Denver, Colorado area.
