In this episode, I'm joined by Carly Samach, a licensed mental health counselor, to talk about meditation, mindfulness, and the vulnerability of feeling hopeful in OCD and anxiety recovery.
We discuss..
- the benefits of mindfulness and meditation as it relates to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

- "hope exposures" and how to challenge yourself to feel the vulnerability of hope
