In this episode I cover 

  • my experience with trying to prepare for future hardships 
  • why humans underestimate our ability to cope 
  • how this links with OCD recovery 
  • what the science says
  • how we can use this to help ourselves


I referenced some articles in this episode. If you want to check them out see the bottom of these show notes.

As always thank you for listening! 


Lots of love
