WeOCD
WeOCD is a group therapy program blending Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Exposure and Response Prevention, tailored for individuals battling OCD. ACT fosters acceptance of obsessive thoughts without reacting compulsively. WeOCD emphasizes accepting uncomfortable feelings, committing to value-aligned actions despite intrusive thoughts, and nurturing a supportive community. Sessions include education, mindfulness exercises, experiential practices, and group discussions, all aimed at promoting learning, growth, and practical application. Facilitated by experienced clinicians, WeOCD is more than symptom management; it’s about living a full, meaningful life amidst OCD. Together, we navigate the complexities of OCD, fostering hope and resilience.
