Todayy we talk about the fear of losing your compassion or sensitivity with OCD recovery. Which is basically just that it can be a misunderstanding that OCD recovery will make you heartless or not "care as much" but this is not true. Your care just changes and matures, but it is still there. We talk about feeling all the feels and how to stay in touch with our emotions through recovery and through life.
