In this insightful episode of the Uniquely Wired Podcast, Dr. Rubin and Dr. Kellen sit down with Dr. Greg Chasson—clinical psychologist, University of Chicago professor, and expert in OCD and related disorders—to explore the misunderstood world of hoarding, anxiety, and perfectionism. Dr. Chasson dispels common myths, noting that hoarding isn’t about laziness or messiness but often rooted in deep anxiety and fear. They also discuss how hoarding connects to OCD and autism in young adults, the importance of healthy motivation, and why aiming for zero anxiety misses the mark: “You want that sweet spot—that Goldilocks zone.”
