In episode 437 I chat with Dr Sam Greenblatt. Sam is a licensed clinical psychologist. 

We discuss an update on Sam, intersections between OCD and the LGBTQIA+ community, how OCD can show up in this community, including common OCD themes, working with therapists who understand the needs of the community, and much more. Hope it helps.
