Trigger Warning - OCD/Suicide  Today we speak to Matty Laycock who shares with us his experience of OCD and his path to mental health nursing, and now working as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for NHS Talking Therapies (was IAPT). Matty is a real one, out there doing the work helping people get better. In this chat he helps us understand what he's been through, as well as tips on embracing uncertainty, meditation, gratitude and finding his values (including a great tip to help you find yours!)
