| 0:00.0 | You're listening to The O. C.D. Stories podcast hosted by me, Stuart Ralph. |
| 0:05.2 | The O. C. D. Stories is a podcast dedicated to raising awareness and understanding |
| 0:10.0 | around obsessive compulsive symptoms. I do this for interviewing inspired therapists, |
| 0:15.2 | psychologists and people who have experienced OCD. Welcome to the OCD stories. |
| 0:26.0 | And welcome to episode of 318 of the podcast. So this one is a little different. |
| 0:28.0 | So my friend and colleague Johnny Say, who is also a therapist, interviewed me on the show show and Johnny interviews me about my master's |
| 0:35.2 | thesis which recently got published and the reason I am denied about doing an episode on this because because it's not necessarily groundbreaking research, but I feel |
| 0:47.7 | it's important to share for a few reasons. |
| 0:51.1 | One, I want to extend the reach of the paper to reach more humanistic |
| 0:55.0 | and person-centered counselors because hopefully the paper and research can help them serve |
| 1:00.4 | their OCD clients even better than they already are which I'm sure they're doing |
| 1:04.1 | wonderful jobs but I think this paper sheds some light on some of the floors |

| 1:14.0 | I think there was also learnings in here for CBT and CBT therapists. |
| 1:19.0 | But I think most importantly I think I wanted to cover this because I think my research details the progression of the |
| 1:27.6 | podcast over the last year and a bit and into the future where I've transitioned a bit from just covering for example |
| 1:36.2 | E.R.P. and Act sometimes to covering more other therapies too. |
| 1:42.1 | And as I always say in those episodes, it's never to convince anyone to go towards those therapies. It's just to shed more light on other ideas that you can integrate into the therapy you already do if that's ARP for example but also to |
| 1:56.1 | inspire therapists researchers and others and people with OCD that maybe sometimes a |
| 2:02.2 | combination is going to work best for them because it's not just |
| 2:04.8 | O. C. D. There's also many factors that go on in someone's life. So that's why I've kind of |
| 2:09.7 | broadened the podcast a bit and that's obviously my training is |
