Hey guys and welcome to episode 184 of the Ocede stories.

PODcast. 184 of the OCD stories.com podcast. Now in this episode I interview Dr Amy Mariaskin and in this episode we specifically address the OD theme of gender identity or sometimes called transgender O.

Amy has experience working with both the transgender population and she's an OCD therapist so she works with

people with OCD. So she could come out this with a unique

and interesting perspective. So I hope if this is something that

affects you I hope you find it useful.

And as always, OCD is OCD, so the stuff Amy shares and talks about,

I'm sure you can relate to it with your own themes that are bothering you at this time.

But first we talk about her kind of anxiety story and her therapy story.

I ask her, you know, what's the story behind her clinic's logo which is a staircase

that's an interesting one and then first off she explains the terms that she's going to be

using around gender fluid, non-binary, etc.

Danny asks her what are some of the obsessions and compulsions around this theme, what some of the example

exposures look like for this theme.

She offers her words of hope, self-compassion, and much, much more.

Hopefully we've done this topic and this theme well and hopefully you find it useful.

And thank you as always for following the

podcast I deeply appreciate it and thank you to Amy so without forever do here she

is on the podcast today I'm joined by Dr Amy Mary asking.

Amy is a licensed clinical psychologist and director at the National OCD and

Anxiety Treatment Center. Welcome to the show.

Thanks so much for having me.
