Hey guys and welcome to episode 137 the O.CD stories

dot com podcast.

Now in this episode I interviewed a very, very, very good friend of mine

called Elliot, and Elliot helped me out on the OCD camp and I wanted to get Elliot on A because he's a wonderful human being and he's helped me so much over the years and he truly is a great friend and I wanted to share his energy

with you because I think he's just awesome but I also wanted to get him on because I

wanted you guys to hear what someone thinks about people with OCD after they've spent

time with them and truly understood what's going on in their mind.

So you know I asked earlier kind of what were his perceptions

about I see before the camp at versus after the camp what he wants the world to

know about people with O. C. D. Just his kind of words of I guess hope, wisdom and advice for people struggling.

We discussed generally mental health because he himself has his own battles with mental health, non-OCD related.

So we get into that a bit, the similarities and the differences.

And yeah, I mean I hope it just kind of,

would this episode can educate people who don't have

O. C. Maybe a bit on what it is coming from someone who who doesn't have O. C. D.

My friend Elliot. But also I think just the way Elliot approached this episode you really like what he has to say and hopefully his words will give you hope as his words often do for me.

So without further ado here is Elliot welcome to the show Elliot thanks

Stuart it's good to have you on this is my well my first in-person recording

with this equipment before I did it crudely with my iPhone

when I was in the States and San Fran last year.

It was good to have you on, obviously I know you very well and too well and you kindly help me out with the OCT camp.

It was a pleasure.
