Hey guys and I'm welcome to episode 175 of the Ocede stories

dot-com podcast.

Now this episode is sponsored by Unstuck, an O-C kids movie,

and here is a quick mini interview with Chris

the producer of the film to talk about Unstuck. So what is Unstuck?

Unstuck an O. C. Kids movie is an award-winning short film that shares information and

ideas from a kid's perspective.

Six different kids talk about all their different OCD issues and each one of them has a different type of OCD,

and they talk about how it affected them, how it affected their family, and most importantly,

how exposure response prevention therapy and dealing with OCD treatment work for them and

allowed them to kind of overcome their fears and get themselves in a much better place.

Brilliant. And why create it?

Kelly Anderson and myself created Unstuck because we are both parents of children with

OCD so we wanted to create a resource that we would have wanted to see when we

were first finding out about it to give people some hope and inspiration and also give people an idea of how

OCD treatment works with kids because there's a lot of fear and nervousness with

parents and we wanted to kind of give people something that was hopeful to look forward to.

And what's sort of one message of hope for families of kids with OCD?

My message of hope to any parent listening right now is that or anyone lists with

O. C. D. D. or a loved one with O. C. D. Right now is that they you can get better.

There is ways that you can overcome your fears fight your fears. It may take a long time

But you know you can stick with it and you will be able to kind of get OCD in a place where it's not disrupting your life.
