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.

Welcome to episode 281. Now I got on licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Sam Greenblatt.

Sam has been on the show before and in this episode we talk about the effectiveness of

And thanks to NoCD for supporting the show.
