  • 41. Tuppence Middleton: The Dark Truth About OCD & Fear That Controlled Her Life

    41. Tuppence Middleton: The Dark Truth About OCD & Fear That Controlled Her Life
    Feb 24 2025
    Welcome to The Life of Bryony Where we explore life’s messy, beautiful, and challenging moments. MY GUEST THIS WEEK: TUPPENCE MIDDLETON This week, I’m joined by Tuppence Middleton—actor and author of Scorpions. In her book, Tuppence explores her lifelong experience with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and emetophobia (a debilitating fear of vomiting). We discuss how OCD isn’t just about cleanliness or order—it’s about fear, control, and mental gymnastics that can take over your life. Tuppence opens up about her constant battle with intrusive thoughts, the exhausting need for reassurance, and how her emetophobia has shaped so many aspects of her life—from acting, to motherhood, to even deciding what foods to eat. She shares how OCD and phobias can make everyday experiences—like travelling, touching objects, or even interacting with people—deeply distressing, and how she’s learned to live with what she calls the ‘scorpions’ in her mind. If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or an overwhelming fear that controls parts of your life, this episode is a must-listen. LET’S STAY IN TOUCH 🗣️ Got something to share?
