This is one of those hodge-podge episodes that touches on a lot of different topics.

This is another grouped episode where all the questions surround one central theme. In this episode, all the questions focus on breathing related obsessions as part of Sensorimotor OCD. For all the listeners struggling with their focus on breathing, the goal will typically be the same; to devalue the importance of their breathing and re-value their tolerance of the incomplete feeling and their engagement with the rest of their life. I offer these three listeners some tips, tricks, and ideas on how to accept their breathing as natural, normal, and part of their life that won’t destroy the other part.
