Hey guys and welcome to episode 59 at the OCD stories.

Now in this episode I interviewed therapist Rob Wilson.

Rob is a UK-based CBT therapist who also does research into BDD.

So this episode is a mixture between body'somorphic disorder and also OCD and often the advice kind of overlaps as they're very in some ways similar conditions and

He he gets some great advice. He's a great guy to talk to

Originally as you know I mentioned in the last episode that halfway through recording, my computer decided to break down

and restart itself.

Therefore, I lost the episode, kindly Rob let us re-record this.

So I think you enjoy it. It gives some great advice. We talk about whether OCD can be managed or beaten.

We also talk about how, he answers the question about how the first 20% of recovery is the hardest

and the last 20% and advice for that.

We've got some great user questions from you guys and Rob kindly

answered those. I think you can enjoy those. And just overall is a very positive episode about OCD and BDD recovery and he's also co-founded the

body dysmorphic disorder foundation and he gives sort of ideas and links of where you this

morphic disorder foundation. And he gives sort of ideas and links of where you can find out more about that going forward.

If that's something that affects you, then maybe this foundation can help you.

But it was great to get him on. He's worked closely with Professor David

Ville who we had on the podcast in January. So yeah, without further ado, here is Rob. I think you're

going to love this. He's an inspirational guy. He clearly loves what he does and loves helping people with OCD and BDD. So enjoy and ask feature at the end.

On today show I have Rob Wilson.
