The challenges in embracing uncertainty

The challenges in embracing uncertainty

Dr Jonathan Grayson is a Licensed Psychologist, Author, and Director of the Grayson Center in LA and the Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California. Jonathan has specialised in OCD treatment for over 40 years and even authored an award-winning book on the topic, 'Freedom from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: a Personalised Recovery Program for Living with Uncertainty.'

In this episode, Jonathan continues explaining what it's like to live in genuine uncertainty and explores the challenges both clients and clinicians can face when fully embracing uncertainty. Plus, he shares a challenging personal story and some interesting pop culture references.

This is part two of our two-part chat with Jonathan. Check out our last episode for part one, where Jonathan introduces us to the idea of uncertainty in the context of OCD.
