the mental compulsions mini course - STOP THE LOOP
An 11-lesson, 4.5-hour mini course pulled directly from The OCD and Anxiety Recovery Blueprint, built specifically for the spiral that lives in your head.
weekly onboarding calls + access to jenna every wednesday 12 pm cst
Your brain is doing something you don't even realize it's doing.
The what-ifs. The replaying. The reassurance you seek inside your own head. The "let me just think through this one more time" that somehow never actually resolves anything. That's not just overthinking. That's a compulsion, and it's been running quietly in the background, feeding the loop every single time. Most people don't know they're doing it. Most therapists don't catch it. And because it all happens inside your head, it's easy to mistake for just thoughts. It's not. And this course shows you exactly what it is and how to stop feeding it.
it's time to talk about what's actually running the show.
MENTAL COMPULSIONS. THE PART NO ONE TALKS ABOUT.
stop the loop
Mental compulsions are quiet. That's what makes them so tricky.
But there's a different way this can go. A brain that still has thoughts - loud ones, scary ones - but doesn't spiral every time. A life where the loop starts and you know exactly what to do. Where intrusive thoughts and anxiety show up and you don't have to drop everything to deal with them.
That's not a fantasy. That's what happens when you finally understand what's been running the show and learn how to stop feeding it.
the mental compulsions mini course
get inside the loop and cut it off
Mental compulsions thrive in black-and-white thinking. Yes or no. Safe or dangerous. Certain or terrifying.
This course teaches you to operate in the grey - where OCD and anxiety lose their leverage and you start making decisions based on your values, not your fear.
By the end, you'll understand exactly how the loop works, why it never resolves anything, and how to respond differently every single time it shows up

With The mini course, you will:
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.
Thoughts Happen - Thinking Is Something You Do
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.
When Your Brain Won't Let It Go
You desperately want to stop doing these compulsions. That's why you're here. But what if I told you part of you still believes they're helping? As long as your brain thinks they're useful, you'll have a hard time letting it go. Let's call this out and change it.
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.
The Mental Loops That Keep You Stuck
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.
Problem Revolving VS Problem Solving
Remember how we talked about how you tend to think all this worrying helps you solve problems? Uhh, yeah, so let’s dig into that by showing you how you view worrying and rumination ‘favorably'. Then, I'll teach you how to do what's actually useful.
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.
10.
Why You Still Feel Stuck - Even Though You Know What to Do
Think you’re doing “all the things” but still stuck? In this lesson, we’re calling out the sneaky trap of obsessive learning and breaking down what it actually means to apply what you’ve learned. You’ll walk away knowing the difference between passive consumption and active recovery—and how to start showing up differently in your real-life.

Name the loop.
Break the loop.
Live without the loop.

hi, I'm jenna!
on that note...
I've been up against the fear voice of OCD and anxiety since I was a kid. Since 2008, I've specialized in taking it down at every level of care, including residential at Rogers Memorial Hospital and Johns Hopkins.
And when I say residential, I mean the most severe, life-stopping cases you can imagine. Mental compulsions weren't a side note in that work. They were the whole conversation. Before lunch, I'd already spent hours untangling the rumination loops, the mental reviewing, the reassurance-seeking that happened entirely inside someone's head with no visible trace of it from the outside.
That's what makes this stuff so tricky and why most people go years without anyone naming it correctly. It doesn't look like anything. It feels like thinking. And most clinicians walk right past it.
I didn't. I couldn't. Because in residential, you don't get to miss it.
This course exists because mental compulsions are the missing piece for so many people, and I've spent 15+ years watching what happens when someone finally understands what's been running the loop. It changes everything.
You've tried therapy but something still isn't clicking, and you suspect the mental stuff is what's getting in the way
You find yourself replaying conversations, reassuring yourself internally, or trying to think your way out of a thought and it never actually works
You know the word "compulsion" but when you hear it, you think mental habits, not physical rituals
You're ready to understand your own brain well enough to be your own therapist
You're ready to do the actual work, not just read about it (nerdy? I love you)
who it's for:
This was made for me
And you'll
probably struggle
through this, if...
... You're happy staying in the same place
...Want to skip to the exposure part, doing things the way you think they should be done
...Are happy basking in the comfort of 'this is hard' and 'I can't'
The mental compulsion mini course is a key piece of the strategic long-term ocd/anxiety recovery program.
This mini course is pulled directly from The OCD and Anxiety Recovery Blueprint AKA the most comprehensive OCD and anxiety resource I offer.
If you want to go all the way, that's where this leads.
But if mental compulsions are your biggest obstacle right now, start here. This is the piece most people are missing.
Make your brain your bitch. Lovingly.
YOUR BRAIN HAS BEEN RUNNING THIS SHOW LONG ENOUGH.
your brain, your rules. now.

is this right for me?
You'll soon see that, while I reference OCD and anxiety the most frequently, I talk about the process of all of these conditions - which is very much the same. Therefore, the way we should be treating and addressing them are also very similar. Someone with anxiety, social phobia, or any other anxiety related condition would likely benefit from this course. You also do not need a formal diagnosis for this course.
What if I just have anxiety, or panic, or social phobia, or...
The good news is, you might be able to use your HSA/FSA funds! The bad news is, I can't tell you for sure. You will have to call your policy holders to check with them as plans differ so widely from individual to individual. I also am not able to write you a letter of necessity on anyone's behalf.
Can I use my
HSA/FSA for this?
