Ep. 111: Your Outdated, Risk‑Averse Comfort Zone Is a Prison — Chuck It

from The Healthy Compulsive Project · host Gary Trosclair

Risk aversion once kept us alive. Today, it often keeps us trapped. Drawing on evolutionary psychology, personality theory, and clinical experience, this essay explores how outdated risk‑avoidance strategies—especially common in obsessive‑compulsive personality styles—shrink our lives, suppress desire, and turn comfort zones into psychic prisons. Living longer isn’t the same as living better.
