You're listening to The O. C.D. Stories podcast, hosted by me, Stuart Ralph.

The O. C. D. Stories is a podcast dedicated to raising awareness and understanding

around obsessive compulsive symptoms. I do this for interviewing inspired therapists,

psychologists and people who have experienced OCD. Welcome to the OCD stories.

And welcome to this midweek special episode where I chat with

Dr Jonathan Hoffman and Dr Katia Moritz from the Neurobehavioral Institute

in Florida. We discuss the analogy cracking the nut. Who cracks the nut, are you the case,

working with tough cases of OCD,

getting treatment ready, what makes OCD harder for someone,

frustration tolerance, comorbidities, getting families and loved ones involved

in the treatment process and much more.

And these midweek special episodes which go out at the end of the month on a Wednesday

are made possible by and in partnership with the Neurobehavioral

Institute in Florida or MBI for short. I will be interviewing different members

of their clinical team on a range of topics.

MBI specialized in treatment and programs for anxiety, OCD, comorbidities and

complex cases. They also offer an intensive outpatient program and a residential program called the

NBI Ranch, a supportive living experience that complements intensive treatment for

anxiety and obsessive compulsiveulsive-related disorders.

To find out more about their intensive outpatient services or the NBI Ranch,

as well as to read some of their free information online about OCD via their blog,

and visit MBI Western.com.
