Lærke Yssing was in the first year of her master’s programme – the fourth year of her psychology degree – when she began a one-year clinical placement at OCD Klinikken. The placement included work with her own clients under supervision and participation in the clinic’s professional work. During the placement, Lærke contributed to articles on experiences of understanding OCD and the shame that can arise when a person also becomes anxious about being anxious.
