    In this episode of "The OCD & Anxiety Show," I discuss the power of unity and love. This episode is different from our usual content due to the recent events in our country following the assassination of Donald Trump. I hope you find something meaningful and affirming in this discussion.

We'll explore what they are, recontextualize the issue, identify the real problem, and discuss what you need to do to break out of this loop. This isn't just informational content; we provide practical steps and tools for a transformative paradigm shift.

Anxious Ken ,

Episode 352

Hi Matt,

I just listened to your episode on Host vs Hostage. I have learned after 70+ years suffering from a number of mental health issues that the stronger my sense of self (ego) the more I suffer. It creates a feeling of separation, urgency, scarcity, etc. Which in turn drives fear, guilt, shame, anger, anxiety and depression. The more I can see my life in a holistic way interconnected with everything else in the universe the happier and more peaceful I feel. Attachment to self is truly the greatest driver of mental illness.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

He’s great.

Very chill. Quick and insightful.

SixFinleys ,

Thank you.

I have just started listening to a few episodes and I have been struggling with debilitating OCD for the last 7 months. Thank you for the relief I find in your podcasts.
