Golden Hour OCD & Anxiety

“Yeah sure no problem!!”
It be like that sometimes as a therapist 😂😂

Unless you’re Virginia Satir, you don’t use your hands often in therapy. It took me a long time into being a therapist to realize that I wasn’t fulfilling a value of mine or prioritizing it in the way I used to in life.

“A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist”

I listened and read this quote and I thought how it applied to me and my work with OCD and therapy in general. So often we try to outsmart our problems or outthink them, we try to use theory to fight our fears. We try to predict and prevent pain. We try to think up elaborate resolutions to our problems to eradicate them. In reality, all we can do is outlive them.

MOVING FORWARD.

All we can do is continue to move forward with life. It’s in the doing, the experience, and the exposure that meaningful change can really start to occur.

I love this quote but I feel like we skip past the hardest part in life is the doing, then the thoughts, inspiration, and passion fulfilled follow 🔆💛

Be proud of me, I’m writing this caption sans-ChatGPT 😂

Something has been sitting on my heart for a long time.
As a therapist, I spend my days helping women regulate, process, grow, and heal. And while therapy is powerful… I keep seeing the same thing underneath so much of the anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt:
Loneliness.
Disconnection.
Surface-level relationships that don’t actually nourish.
We are not meant to do life alone.
Golden Hour Connection Co. was created as a space for women who crave more — more depth, more honesty, more real conversation, more laughter that doesn’t feel forced, more spaces where your nervous system can exhale.
This isn’t networking.
This isn’t performative.
This isn’t “show up polished.”
It’s free hangouts.
It’s workshops centered around mental health.
It’s intentional gatherings built around connection.
It’s women sitting in the golden hour of real life together.
If you’ve been wanting deeper friendships…
If you’ve been feeling isolated…
If you’ve been carrying a lot quietly…

If you loved Southern Utah Girl Gang, you’ll love Golden Hour Connection Co. even more!! 💛

This is for you.

Follow along for upcoming events.
Invite a friend.
Come exactly as you are.
Finding your Golden hour is better together 🌿✨

When you’re trying to fall asleep but OCD says, “Wait… better Google one more symptom.” 😅

If you’ve ever spiraled into late-night health searches, contamination fears, or reassurance Googling, you’re not alone. OCD loves uncertainty, and it often shows up strongest when your brain finally slows down at night.

Reassurance seeking (like symptom Googling) can feel helpful in the moment, but it usually keeps OCD stuck in the loop long-term. Real healing often involves learning how to tolerate uncertainty instead of trying to eliminate it.

If this is you, you’re not broken — your brain is trying to protect you, just in an overprotective way.

✨ Recovery is possible✨ ERP therapy helps break the OCD cycle✨ You can learn to sit with uncertainty without letting it control you

Save this if nighttime OCD spirals are relatable 💛

Resistance is futile….in OCD treatment 👀

Jokes on all my OCD clients because this is actually how I sound this week, I’ve been out sick all week so naturally that means more Instagram videos 💕🤣

Send to your OCD homies to help motivate them 😂 Exposure therapy is hard but so worth it when you can learn to not treat every thought as a five alarm fire! OCD recovery is possible through ACT and ERP (if you don’t know what those are then comment below!)

Want to learn more about OCD, follow along or message for a free consultation today! Well not today since I still sound like RFK Jr. but next week 😉

OCD will tell you that certainty is a requirement for safety, peace, and progress.
It isn’t.
Recovery doesn’t come from answering every question or eliminating every fear. It comes from living your life without certainty—while the doubt comes along for the ride.
If you’ve been waiting to feel “sure enough” before making a decision, starting something new, or enjoying your life, this is your reminder:
You don’t have to wait.
You can live with uncertainty.
You can move forward with fear.
You can build a meaningful life with OCD—not after it’s gone.
If this resonates, share it with someone whose OCD is telling them to pause their life.
