  • Love this podcast!

    Always informative with wonderful guests. Just listened to Episode 100 about the intersection of OCD and spirituality. Very helpful. As an OCD treatment specialist, it’s often difficult to watch what had once been a source of comfort (spiritual practices) become torturous for clients. Great discussion!

  • Wonderful and informative!

    This is a great podcast that helps normalize and educate anything OCD. I love that this therapist has lived experience both personally and clinically. She totally normalizes and reduces the shame involved with having OCD.
