#121 OCD or just a Perfectionist? Here’s the difference

Can’t stop lining things up. Or is it more than tidy habits?
Dr Christian Heim opens our four-part perfectionism series by asking: Where does helpful exactness end and clinical OCD begin?

In 15 sharp minutes:

• Patterns vs. Randomness: why the brain craves order, and when that craving misfires.

• OCD 101: key symptoms, causes, and gold-standard treatments, told through real stories.

• Perfectionism Unpacked: the sweet spot of “doing it right” versus the trap of “never right enough,” and how each can imitate the other.

• A quick self-check to see if you, or someone you love, has crossed the line.

Wondering, “Am I detail-oriented, or compulsive?” Hit play for science-backed clarity you can use today.
