My Story | Recovering from Social Anxiety, a Collapsed Lung, and Chronic Pain

Things take a personal turn at OCD Space when I share some of my personal struggles with social anxiety, a spontaneous pneumothorax (sudden collapsed lung) that required surgery, and chronic pain...and how I've managed to make peace with it all and find meaning along the way.

I'm Mike Parker, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in Pittsburgh, PA.
