OCD Couples Intensives
OCD isn't just an individual problem, it's a family problem. It affects all your important relationships. Sometimes this means we need a solution focused on those relationships.
To The Partner With OCD
You didn’t ask for this. You do want to chill out. You don’t want to be stressed about the kids, work, the house, religion, imperfection, and your relationship. You want to be a fun husband/wife. You want to relax and have a good time and just enjoy yourself. You hate feeling grumpy and high strung and you hate the way that OCD is impacting your relationship.
You’re trying your best, but sometimes it seems like your spouse doesn’t understand it. They just want you to calm down and realize these things don’t matter. They are trying to be practical but you just feel invalidated. You wish with every fiber of your being that your OCD wasn’t impacting your family but it is and you feel powerless to stop it.



To The Partner Without OCD
You love your person so much. You just want to enjoy your marriage too. You’re trying to be empathetic but you’re also exhausted. Kids, chores, and a mortgage together are hard enough without OCD. There’s a third person in your marriage and it’s OCD.
You’re so tired of having the same conversations over and over again to try and reassure your spouse that everything is okay. You would trade almost anything to just get to do marriage without OCD.

To The Couple That Both Has OCD
You’re both so stressed. You both feel powerless and afraid. There’s so many awful things that could happen. You constantly seek reassurance from each other. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like there’s enough room in the relationship for so much anxiety and OCD.

What Is An OCD Couples Intensive?
Couples that do intensives say things like “oh my gosh that changed everything” and “we are doing so much better.” They look back and tell everyone around them “that was a major turning point for us.” They don’t want to spend the next months with one individual doing weekly therapy. They know it’s no one’s fault but it’s now both or their problems. They are committed and want to make changes now.
Couples that do the OCD intensive have fun, enjoy their relationship, feel much less stressed, and enjoy life without the constant cycle or obsessions, compulsions, reassurance, and anxiety ridden meltdown and fights. They kick OCD out of their relationship and get to enjoy just being married.
​
For a couples intensive we will sit down together for 3 hours. We will go deep into your OCD and every way it affects your relationship. We will identify ways for both parties to cope and to take care of themselves. We will deal with the guilt and shame that come with OCD. You will leave knowing more about OCD and how to deal with it than you ever wanted to know.
For two weeks after that you will have unlimited phone access to me to help you implement the things you learned and meet your goals. You will feel empowered and unstuck.
