In this episode of the OCD and Anxiety Podcast, we delve into the deep-seated longing for normalcy often experienced by those living with OCD. The discussion focuses on the pain of feeling different and the trap of obsessively chasing normality.

Our host shares his personal journey, including the move to Barcelona, and how, despite initial hopes for change, the real progress came through acceptance rather than escape. By confronting the notion of 'brokenness' and the misguided pursuit of certainty, we explore the path to true empowerment.

Listeners are encouraged to embrace imperfections and focus on what truly matters, shedding the limiting beliefs about normality and instead building a life based on values and personal growth. Join us as we uncover how letting go of the chase for normalcy can transform the OCD recovery process
