In episode 345 I chat with Dr Sam Greenblatt. Sam is a licensed clinical psychologist.
We discuss an update on his past relapse, his fire metaphor, processing the trauma of OCD, meta OCD, PTSD and OCD, identity and OCD, the idea of perceived fragility, loss and grief around OCD, figuring out what is normative, and much more. Hope it helps.
