You know your OCD isn’t logical…
and yet the urge to engage still feels overwhelming.

That’s because OCD isn’t about logic—it’s about fear and intolerance of uncertainty.
Real progress doesn’t come from just removing compulsions when you’re triggered.
It comes from understanding and facing the core fear underneath the obsession.

ERP helps you practice living with uncertainty—without rituals—so OCD loses its grip.

Not all repetitive behaviors are the same.

Tics are sudden, involuntary movements or sounds often preceded by a physical urge and followed by brief relief.
Compulsions, on the other hand, are behaviors done to reduce anxiety or distress related to intrusive thoughts.

Why does this distinction matter?
Because treatment differs.

CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics) is an evidence-based therapy designed specifically to help individuals manage tics—while compulsions are treated using different approaches, such as ERP.

In this video, we break down:
• What a tic is
• How tics differ from compulsions
• How CBIT works
• What to do when you experience both Tics and Compulsions

💥You are not your OCD.💥

OCD is the bully shouting threats… or the helicopter mom warning that danger is everywhere.

Externalizing OCD means recognizing:
👉 This isn’t me.
👉 This is OCD trying to run the show.

When you stop treating OCD’s voice as truth, you create space for choice, courage, and values-based living.

You don’t have to argue with OCD.
You don’t have to reassure it.
You get to choose how much space it takes up.

Watch to learn how these analogies can help you respond to OCD with less fear and more clarity.

Thank you and for helping push OCD education!

The holidays can bring connection, joy… and a lot of pressure. For people living with OCD, this time of year can also bring an increase in triggers, uncertainty, and intrusive thoughts. You’re not doing anything wrong! Your nervous system is responding to change, expectations, and disruptions in routine.

Here are a few ways to support yourself this season:
✨ Set boundaries that honour your mental health
✨ Expect triggers and use your ERP tools with compassion
✨ Choose values over reassurance
✨ Create small moments to regulate and recharge

Remember: you don’t need a perfect holiday to have a meaningful one.
If you need support this season, OCD Wellness is here.

OCD doesn’t trap you because you’re weak — it traps you in a cycle.

Here’s how it works ⬇️

🔁 The OCD Cycle
1️⃣ Intrusive thought: “What if something bad happens?”
2️⃣ Anxiety spikes: Your body reacts like there’s real danger.
3️⃣ Compulsion or reassurance: Checking, avoiding, Googling, mental reviewing.
4️⃣ Short-term relief: Anxiety drops… temporarily.
5️⃣ OCD learns: “Good thing you did that — we avoided danger.”
➡️ The thought comes back stronger next time.

This is how people get stuck. Not because they “gave in,” but because OCD is a convincing bully.

🧠 How ERP helps
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) gently interrupts the cycle by:
✅ Facing fears on purpose and at your pace
✅ Resisting compulsions, even when anxiety rises
✅ Letting your brain learn: “I can handle this. Nothing terrible happens.”

Over time, anxiety decreases without compulsions. And OCD loses its grip.

✨ ERP isn’t about being fearless.
It’s about learning you don’t need OCD’s rules to be safe.

If this cycle feels familiar, support can help — and you don’t have to break it alone.
