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!

Love this podcast! The interviews and shared experiences are so validating. It is great to hear others perspectives, the science behind OCD, and gain hope for recovery. The host is very kind, knowledgeable, and great to listen to. Thank you!

This podcast was the best thing I found early on in my journey to recovery. This made recovery faster and feel attainable.

I’ve had OCD since childhood, but being postpartum triggered my symptoms to come back stronger than they have in awhile. It’s so helpful to listen to others’ stories and tips from mental health providers to know I’m not alone and there is hope. I especially love the episodes with Dr. Greenberg — his approach is by far the most helpful to me!

Ep. 397 with Anthony Pinto was so helpful! I wish I could properly articulate just how helpful it was but in an effort to not tie up all my time in getting this review just right and return to accomplishing the things I desire to complete today I’m just typing as I think and not gonna go back and edit.

I have a spouse with OCD and is there is no better way to learn about OCD and gain a better understanding of how you can be supportive to those suffering.

This is one of the most important mental health podcasts that exist today. The host is a great interviewer, very compassionate, clear, and concise. “Pure O” sufferers MUST listen to Episode #252. That episode changed my life. Also, just listening to people’s personal stories was so beneficial in making me feel less isolated as I went through treatment. 10/10. Thank you Stuart for bringing this podcast to the world!

I first stumbled across this podcast during intensive outpatient therapy. My care team was wonderful, and also, they were not OCD specialists. I credit this Podcast with giving me enough of an understanding of OCD to be able to communicate effectively enough with my care team to get the help I needed. Stuart, I will never be able to thank you enough for the impact your work has had on my life. I live now with a kind of freedom I didn’t even know was possible.

Love this podcast so much, can’t get enough. Been a listener since February and not only has it been personally helpful, but so interesting and entertaining. Some of my favorite guests are Dr. Michael Greenberg, Dr. Steven Philipson, Dr. Patricia Zurita and Dr. Amy Mariaskin

It wasn’t until this year that I finally found a therapist who gets it. In that time between, this podcast has taught me so much. It has showed me I’m not alone, crazy, or untreatable, and I learned a lot of great vocabulary and coping skills. After going through several therapists who didn’t quite understand, I finally sought out a specialist. The reason I knew to seek out a specialist was because of stories on this podcast, where people explained how talk therapy just wasn’t enough and targeted therapy with ERP is crucial. I have an incredible therapist now and continue to learn so much and find so much comfort in this podcast.
