Anyone who’s ever been known to overwork, overplan, overcontrol or overanalyze is welcome here, where the obsessive-compulsive personality is explored and harnessed to deliver what it was originally meant to deliver. Join psychotherapist, Jungian psychoanalyst and author Gary Trosclair as he delves into the pitfalls and potential of the driven personality with an informative, positive, and often playful approach to this sometimes-vexing character style. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-healthy-compulsive-project-6461244 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-healthy-compulsive-project-6461244.md ## Episodes - [Ep. 116: Codependence Is a 'Muscular Glue' — Here's How to Break Free](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-healthy-compulsive-project-6461244/ep-116-codependence-is-a-muscular-glue-here-s-how-to-break-free) — 2026-06-09T08:00:00+00:00 - [Ep. 115: Why You Can’t Stop Using Willpower--Even After It Drains You](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-healthy-compulsive-project-6461244/ep-115-why-you-can-t-stop-using-willpower-even-after-it-drains-you) — 2026-05-26T08:00:00+00:00 - [Ep. 114: Can't Identify Your Feelings?
