  • If your feelings, sensations or impulses are overwhelming you and making it hard to do ERP

  • If you are struggling to surf the urge to do physical or mental compulsions, you feel like you simply can’t resist them

  • If you have relapsed and are looking for new skills to support your recovery and strengthen your ability to handle obsessive thoughts, let go of compulsions and focus on your values and goals and get your life back

  • If you are troubled by shame and self-criticism and would like to cultivate more self-compassion

  • If you want to connect your exposure work more directly to your values & goals, to who and what matters in your life

  • If your mind is resisting when you apply ERP skills and generating new or variations of your OCD fears or doubts (secondary OCD spikes)
