Get out of the guilt/shame cycle and into supportive treatment—let’s work through your most triggering mundane tasks and avoidance behaviors together with behavioral strategies and/or medication for better work/life/play/relax balance so you can actually enjoy your free time and get out of the frozen struggle loop.

Criteria for a diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder includes compulsions that take more than an hour out of an individual’s day on a daily basis. OCD impacts relationships, occupational ability, and overall life satisfaction. The good news is that OCD is fully treatable and clients do recover (and have a lot more mind space and time space to enjoy) and lead satisfying lives with a combination of specialized therapy and medication.

Grateful to be open and of service on Memorial Day. Ideally, we could live in a world without war. Let’s remember those who died but also those who make the brave choice to live every day.

Wow! 95 followers on Day 1. How moving to witness your public show of support for the normalization and promotion for mental health, thank you.

A special thank you as well to those who shared your personal story with me privately and booked an appointment.

We never know who or how those among us may be struggling-- the perfectionists, the party people, the artists, the scientists, the service workers, the home office workers, the plant parents, the people parents, that friend who is always cracking jokes or the friend who is always cancelling plans. Check on your people and please feel free to share/repost Otter Integrative Psychiatry as a resource to call on. Thanks for sharing the love.
