It will be great for anyone who needs support on staying motivated in treatment or for people supporting a loved one in that process! Pass it on to anyone that would benefit from this event and we hope to see all of you there! 👋🏼

Here is a description of Nathaniel’s presentation and you can find more info on the event at https://ocdsocal.org:

Nathaniel has prepared a presentation for attendees titled, “Igniting Willpower: Separating Fact from Fiction in Motivation”

Presentation description: Getting better from OCD is challenging and takes a lot of motivation and dedication. This talk will first debunk some common motivational myths that can lead to burn out and hopelessness. After addressing these common myths, the talk will then provide attendees with strategies for building motivation around OCD treatment. If you are struggling with motivation in your own recovery, you will not want to miss this presentation! Additionally, this presentation will enable family members, loved ones, and caregivers to support their loved one while they implement these tools. The talk will also discuss how to stay motivated as a loved one experiences the inevitable ups and downs of OCD treatment.
