In Part 2 of The Sonder Effect, hosts Mariam Ayvazyan and Alexa Montemayor take a deeper dive into OCD, moving beyond understanding obsessions and compulsions to focus on breaking free from the cycle. They explore Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold-standard treatment designed to rewire the brain’s response to intrusive thoughts. But recovery is more than just resisting compulsions; it’s about building resilience, tolerating discomfort, and fostering self-compassion along the way.

Whether you or someone you love is navigating OCD, this episode provides insight, practical tools, and hope for facing the journey with courage and understanding.
