1 小时 19 分钟Oh hey, it's the bowl that's chipped, but not chipped enough to throw it away, Ali Ward.
This is ologies.
This is OCD.
Okay, we asked y'all on Patreon your most desired episodes, and this was among the top,
which was both a surprise, it was also a delight to me.
Also a delight, we got the world's most revered expert in OCD to talk to me for an hour.
This person invented the scale by which OCD is measured.
They've been working in this field for many,
many decades and is pioneering a bunch of new treatment and research for it.
They studied at Boston University and Yale School of Medicine.
They've also been instrumental in nonprofit work for OCD treatment and research.
They're now a professor and the chair at the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College in Houston.
And if you have OCD or you know someone who does or might,
their life is better because of this absolute OCD icon.
And just a content note,
of course we talk about some parts of OCD that are distressing to people and that's part of why we're doing this,
to talk about it.
But just a content warning up top that we do touch on self-harm and some intrusive thoughts that might be a little disturbing to people.
Now I was nervous as hell to hop on this interview
because I know their time is very limited but we were able to cover so much including questions from patrons at patreon.com slash ologies.
