  • 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.

  • 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.
