How I FINALLY Learned To Live WITH Fear

from Get to know OCD

Renee Zukin spent much of her life trying to silence fear — avoiding risk, obsessing over safety, and doing everything possible to feel in control. It worked just well enough to keep going, but never well enough to feel free. In this interview, she opens up about how fear shaped where she lived, how she ate, how she parented, and how long it kept her from getting the right help.What changed wasn’t the fear disappearing — it was her relationship to it. Renee talks about learning to stop chasing certainty, letting go of safety behaviors, and finding the courage to move forward even when fear was still in the room.Renee got better using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy — the gold standard treatment for OCD.
