  • The best OCD podcast!

    Chris provides such valuable information on OCD along with effective advice and treatments on how to manage it. I have learned so much from him and would not be where I am today without his podcast in addition to therapy. It’s mind blowing how much knowledge he has in OCD. I’m so grateful for the podcast.

  • Please don’t stop -

    Seriously. I was diagnosed with OCD as a child. Therapists love to talk about my emotions and (bad) childhood as well as push me towards medication.

I feel so scared and isolated and hopeless, and this - what you’re saying, what you’re reminding me of - is what I need. I don’t want to live a life on medicati... more

  • Amazing podcast

    I have recently started listening to this podcast, and Chris boils down the concepts and material in a compelling and easy to digest fashion. The podcast lives up to its name—straight talk about OCD. He is clearly an expert with extensive practical experience treating OCD and anxiety spectrum disorders. He has helped me to realize that compulsions are key to keeping the OCD system alive and that compulsions are a choice. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone seeking recovery from OCD.

  • The podcast you need to confront anxiety and OCD

    I’ve been listening to this podcast off and on for the past year, especially during times when my OCD and anxiety flare up. The wisdom Chris shares on these topics is eye opening, and his strategies for mitigating unwanted thoughts and compulsions are extremely helpful. Definitely give this podcast a listen if OCD is impacting your life or the life of a loved one. Most every episode is “bite-size” at under 20 minutes and you’ll come away with at least one insight you can apply to improving your ... more
