A 10-lesson, 4-hour course to take you from rumination prisoner to boss of your own brain.
Hey there, brave soul. You know that voice? The one that subtly whispers, nudging you into mental spirals, silently chaining you down? That's your mental compulsions at play. And let's be real - they can be sneaky AF.
Ever found yourself lost in a loop of "What if.." or repeatedly reassuring yourself inside your mind? That's them. Worry. Rumination. Mentally reviewing. Trying to logic or argue your way out of thoughts. Those invisible chains that seem to have an iron grip on your brain.
They can be even more powerful. While others might not see them, you feel them, right? And sometimes, that makes it even harder to resist.
But here's the golden ticket: You can break free. How am I so confident?
In the realm of mental compulsions, it's often a game of black and white - yes or no, true or false, safe or dangerous. But real healing? It's found in the grey zone. This course will embolden you to embrace the uncertainties, the "maybes", and the in-betweens.
By learning to navigate the middle ground, you'll weaken the grip of compulsions and discover a richer, more nuanced way of relating to the world and yourself. Stand tall, breathe deep, and get ready to ask yourself "Whyyyy didn't I start this journey sooner!?"
Buckle up, friend. We're about to rewire your brain in the best way possible.
Dive deep into recognizing those sneaky mental compulsions that love to fly under the radar
Unravel why your brain does the mental gymnastics it does
Arm yourself with proven strategies to disrupt those repetitive, consuming thoughts
Cultivate a mindset that not only recognizes these compulsions but effectively battles them
Embrace the power to challenge and change your compulsive patterns, making room for healing and growth

When you’re in the eye of the OCD/anxiety storm, it’s easy to feel like you’ll be swirling in this mess of compulsions and rituals for eternity. But that doesn’t have to be the reality.
The Difference Between A Thought and Thinking
Your thoughts feel automatic. They’re hard to resist. Your thoughts aren’t thinking and in this lesson we’ll dig into when a thought starts vs. when thinking begins. Hint: you’re in control of one and not the other.
01.
Is Pure O A Thing? Does It Exist?
"Pure O" is likely an OCD subtype you've heard about and resonate with. So does it exist? Answer: it's tricky. Welcome to the nothing-held-back discussion on it.
02.
You're Actually Justifying Your Mental Compulsions
You desperately want to stop doing these compulsions. That's why you're here. But what if I told you that you're actually holding onto them much more than you probably think? Justification is dangerous. But it’s so easy to slip into.
03.
Why Logic Will Never Win Against OCD/Anxiety
It’s tempting to rationalize your way out of OCD thoughts. But it’s a short-term hit of ‘I’m getting better.’ It will never win. Here’s why it’s keeping you stuck and what you can do instead.
04.
Mental Compulsions, Rumination, and More
Quite possibly one of the most sought after lessons in this course. In this lesson, we're talking all about mental compulsions, rumination, and what to do about them.
05.
No, You're Not Solving Problems - You're Making More of Them
Remember how we talked about how one of those justifications for mental compulsions was that you think it helps you solve problems? Uhh, yeah, so let’s dig into that by showing you how you view worrying ‘favorably'.
06.
Spotting Other Sneaky Rituals
OCD/anxiety knows no bounds. And it’s a sneaky little sh*t if you’re not careful. Let’s figure out how to unveil these rituals so you can resist them now and forever. If you can surrender to uncertainty, these rituals are done-so.
07.
Why Coping Skills Aren't Good For You
Coping skills. Typically suggested. Rarely helpful. So what should you do instead? I got you.
08.
No More Safety Nets or Just In Case: Hammering Out Safety Behaviors and Avoidance
Wait, there are still some safety behaviors and subtle rituals you might be giving into. Let's hammer them out.
09.
Handling The ‘But It Feels Too Risky!’ Mentality
‘How can I do this without worrying?’ OCD is holding you back with objections. The good news is objections are nothing for a tenacious brain. You can resist these and keep showing up. That process will be so clear post-this-lesson.

"You’re such an inspiration for people like me who struggle with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I also love the community and our interaction in the chat. You made me feel heard and understood.”
"It feels like you've left no stone unturned when it comes to OCD. It's actually made me realize that I seem to know more than my therapist - all thanks to you, of course."
I’ve been struggling with that damn ‘fear voice’ of OCD/anxiety since I was a kid. And since 2008, I’ve specialized in treating it. Working at ALL levels of care, including residential at both Rogers Memorial Hospital and Johns Hopkins– I’ve seen it all. 8 years of the most debilitating cases of OCD and anxiety in the world. Comorbidities. Unconventional presentations. Your taboo thoughts and presentations won’t even ‘wow’ me, let alone scare me. I’ve truly seen it all. Try and surprise me. You’ll win a prize if you can.
And that seen it all trait I have, makes my 1:1 waitlist overflow with people who want to experience recovering for good. And right now, this is the closest way you get to work with me.
I’ve always wanted to treat OCD. Something that I feel traditional therapy has all wrong. OCD isn’t a textbook case of ‘scared of germs.’ Mental compulsions. Ruminations. Sitting with uncertainty (and struggling!). Intrusive thoughts. OCD/anxiety is so much more than stereotypes.
But one thing’s for sure– once you recover, you can take your life back.
Someone who finds themselves silently screaming, "Why can't I stop these freaking thoughts?!"
Someone who is DONE being a silent sufferer and is ready to take back control
Someone who bottles OCD/anxiety often (but wants the sword collection that'll finally slay this damn thing)
Someone who understands the importance of ritual prevention, even if they're not totally positive which rituals they're currently doing
Someone who is eager to learn about mental compulsions - nerdy? I love you
Someone who, when the word 'compulsion' comes to mind, doesn't come up with actions - but a series of mental thoughts
