0:00.0	You're listening to The OCD Stories podcast, hosted by me, Stuart Ralph.
0:05.5	The OCD Stories is a podcast dedicated to raising awareness and understanding around obsessive,
0:11.1	compulsive symptoms.
0:12.8	I do this for interviewing inspired therapists, psychologists, and people who have experienced OCD.
