0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the
0:08.2	Chaos of Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD.
0:12.1	This show is for educational purposes
0:14.3	and is not intended to replace the guidance
0:16.5	of a qualified professional.
0:18.6	Here's your host, child therapist Natasha Daniels.
