0:00.0	Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.
0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:12.0	Hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.
0:18.0	I hope you're having an amazing day.
0:20.0	Today I had the privilege of talking to John Tessetore.
0:24.7	He is a person who struggled with OCD throughout his childhood and he was kind enough to come
0:31.7	on and give us insights into what it's like to grow up with
0:36.8	OCD, what it's like to not know that you have OCD, and also he has some really good tips for parents who are raising kids with O. C.
0:46.8	He gave us a lot of good information.
0:49.8	The cool thing about John as well is even though he had a lot to overcome in his childhood.
0:56.7	And he befriended another person named John, actually, ironically, who also had OCD, he talks about his childhood experiences and his friendship
1:06.7	and inevitably what led to a loss in his life and he took all of his knowledge and his struggles and he created the J.C.K.
1:15.0	Foundation.
1:16.0	And so he also goes into what that foundation is.
1:19.0	His core mission is to spread knowledge and to let people who are struggling with O. C. D.
1:26.2	and mental illness in general know that they're not alone. And what an incredible
1:31.5	message to convey to our kids that they are not alone and
1:35.8	that there are so many people who are going through similar struggles and
1:39.0	unfortunately so many of them feel like they are being isolated. They feel like they are the only person experiencing this.
1:45.6	And John is doing his part in the world to let kids know that that is not the case.
1:51.2	So I think you're going to really enjoy my conversation with him. He has so much energy
1:55.6	and vibrance and I just want to support everything and anything that he touches and does because it comes from such a good place.
