🧠 OCD Clinicians — Ready to Go Deeper?

If you work with OCD, you already know how often presentations are more complex than they first appear.

Two specialized trainings are now available for clinicians looking to deepen their expertise:

🔎 OCD & Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
Understanding overlap, differential diagnosis, treatment modifications, and common clinical pitfalls.

🔎 OCD & Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Clarifying repetitive behaviors vs. compulsions, adapting ERP for neurodivergent clients, and addressing rigidity, sensory factors, and social cognition.

These trainings are designed specifically for clinicians treating OCD who want:
• Stronger diagnostic clarity
• Greater confidence with complex cases
• Practical, implementation-focused strategies
• Nuanced understanding beyond textbook presentations

If you’ve encountered clients where OCD didn’t fully explain the picture — these trainings are for you.

🏃‍♂️🧠 Running clears the mind… but what happens when anxiety runs too?

We’re conducting an informal study on OCD & anxiety in runners — exploring routines, missed-run stress, performance fears, and the fine line between discipline and distress.

If you’re a runner (any level), we’d love your perspective.

Valentine’s Day can bring up comparison, pressure, or the idea that love has to look a certain way.

Self-compassion is choosing to respond to yourself with warmth instead of criticism, especially when things feel hard.

That might look like:
-Speaking to yourself the way you would to a friend
-Letting “good enough” be enough
-Allowing discomfort without adding self-judgment

You are worthy of care, exactly as you are. 💞

Therapy Language, Made Simple ✨Defusion✨

Defusion doesn’t mean getting rid of thoughts.
It means changing how much power they have over you.

In OCD and anxiety, thoughts often feel urgent, threatening, and demanding. Defusion creates just enough space to respond based on values, not fear.

You don’t have to believe every thought to notice it.
And you don’t have to feel calm to move forward.

Introducing Myth vs Fact Wednesdays ✨Reassurance feels helpful in the moment, but when it becomes the go-to response, it can quietly keep anxiety and OCD stuck.

Learning to tolerate uncertainty is uncomfortable, and also where long-term change happens.

🧠🌱 Before asking yourself to “push through” OCD or jump into ERP, it can help to ask a simpler question: Is my nervous system resourced enough right now?

DBT’s PEASE skills focus on emotion regulation by caring for the body—because OCD gets louder when we’re depleted.

✨ PEASE:
• Physical health – illness, pain, or fatigue matter
• Eating – regular, nourishing meals
• Avoid mood-altering substances
• Sleep – consistency over perfection
• Exercise – gentle, intentional movement

These aren’t avoidance strategies. They’re vulnerability-reducing strategies. When PEASE is in place, emotions are easier to regulate, grounding works better, and ERP becomes more accessible—not more punishing.

Care for the body. So the mind can do hard things.

🗣️🛑 Many people with OCD engage in people-pleasing as a ritual:
• Over-explaining
• Reassuring others
• Avoiding conflict at all costs
• Saying yes to reduce anxiety or guilt

DBT offers an alternative way to approach ERP: DEARMAN.
✨ Describe
✨ Express
✨ Assert
✨ Reinforce
✨ Mindful
✨ Appear confident
✨ Negotiate

Using DEARMAN isn’t being “mean.” It’s being effective and values-aligned—without feeding OCD or anxiety-driven approval seeking. You can be kind and boundaried. Both can be true.
