In episode 420 I chat with Dr Sam Greenblatt. Sam is a licensed clinical psychologist.
We discuss an update on Sam, theories on relationship OCD, the nuances of therapy, the idea of trusting your gut, a review of the therapies that have an evidence base for OCD, the need for more longitudinal research, and much more. Hope it helps.

Hi, Stuart!
Thank you for such an informative podcast. The point you made on using triggers as a guide towards something that needs to be healed was very enlightening. Do you have plans to do book reviews in 2024?
Thanks for listening Jackie. I’m glad you liked it. No plans for book reviews. Was there a book in particular you had in mind? Thanks
Stuart,
There seems to be a lot of mental health workbooks available online. Any of those would be great. Thanks!
Hi Jackie, ok thanks. I’ve interviewed Jon Hershfield, Jon Abramowitz and Dr Patricia Zurita Ona before about their workbooks. Hope that helps.
