If you have OCD and you're not sure how the principle of acceptance fits into your situation,

then this episode of The Anxious Truth is for you.

Many people with OCD struggle with the idea of acceptance and how to apply it in that particular context, because

they see people with panic disorder or agoraphobia or health anxiety or other anxiety disorders

who have to accept the presence of very specific things that are often physical in nature

or situational in nature. And for somebody with OCD, they may find, I'm not sure exactly how

this applies to me. How do I

accept in OCD? And if this is your situation and this is confusing you, then give us about 30 minutes

today and we're going to try to help you understand that a little bit more. I am Drew Linzalata,

creator and host of The Anxious Truth. I am a therapist that specializes in the treatment

of anxiety and anxiety disorders. Practicing in New York in the US of A, I am a former sufferer of the

things we talk about on this podcast. I'm a four-time author on the topic of anxiety and anxiety

recoveries. I am a social media guy, psychoeducator, mental health advocate, guy with too many

expensive cameras and microphones,

as you can nearly see. And today I'm joined by my friends Joanna Hardis and Lauren Rosen to

excellent experienced OCD specialists practicing in Ohio in California, respectively. And we're going to

take about 30 minutes to have a little chat about how acceptance fits into the context of OCD,

OCD treatment, and recovery from OCD.
