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.
0:28.6	Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.
0:36.3	Today I am excited to have a new segment on the podcast called The therapist Corner, where I am inviting two of my very favorite anxiety and Ocede therapists, Dr. Allison Solomon and Michelle Massey to come on and we're just going to kind of banter

1:21.5	And it's one of my biggest pet peeves,
1:24.0	because just like anyone in any profession,
1:27.0	you don't like bad apples.
1:29.4	And with anxiety and no CD,
1:30.7	there's very specific evidence-based approaches that parents need to seek out and if
1:36.6	they get into the hands of the wrong people especially for O C.D it can actually do
