0:00.0 | Hey, deserve listeners. This is a follow up to my deep dive on obsessive, |
0:03.5 | compulsive personality disorder, which was for patrons only. I asked people to |
0:08.4 | email in their response to the deep dive, talking about their own experiences |
0:12.5 | with the personality disorder. And I thought I would read those emails. So I'm |
