This Podcast is a gift of pure relief. Beyond grateful to know I’m not crazy!!!! It’s such an isolated feeling especially when for me it’s 95% internal.
The best podcast about OCD and spectrum disorders. Love the stories, love the legitimate experts. Stuart is a wonderful host.
It feels so validating, knowing that someone has been through almost the exact same things/feelings as I have. This podcast is helping me to realize that I’m not a bad person. Everything is going to be okay. I’m definitely still struggling, but it is amazing hearing real stories, because it helps me to not feel crazy. Thank you for doing this podcast!
Thank you
Thanks a lot Stuart!
