Whatever, OCD

The OCD Recovery Hub

Recovery from OCD doesn’t have to be complicated or inaccessible.

After almost 25 years of helping people overcome OCD in both individual and group settings, I have brought together my experience, knowledge and practical guidance in this online recovery community.

“Whatever, OCD” gives you immediate access to a structured recovery program that you can work through at your own pace, alongside live support from me and a community of people who understand what it is like to have OCD.

Support for lasting change

The “Whatever, OCD” Recovery Hub combines practical learning with ongoing support from me and the community, so you are never alone.

Structured recovery guidance

Work through my practical, step-by-step recovery program at your own pace. Everything you need to understand and overcome OCD.

Live specialist support

Join community calls where I provide guidance, help you develop techniques and troubleshoot individual issues.

A community that understands OCD

Connect with others who truly get it. Share, learn and encourage each other in a respectful, compassionate and supportive space.

Accountability and momentum

Use the community to set goals, stay accountable for action, boost your progress and stay accountable — backed by an experienced clinician.

Why recovery is better together

Although OCD may look and sound very different, the tools needed to change are remarkably similar. Working alongside others helps make a powerful difference.

Reduce shame

OCD thrives in secrecy. Facing it together helps you experience connection, understanding and relief from the isolation that maintains shame.

Skills Development

Group settings provide a safe space to practise new skills and coping strategies. It is often easier to understand a tool through someone else's experience and then apply it to yourself.

Feel less alone

Connect with people facing similar challenges. Share wins, setbacks and encouragement in a space where you truly belong.

Maintain momentum

Growing goals and progress requires ongoing support. The community helps you stay focused, accountable and moving forward, one manageable step at a time.

FAQ’s

Why join ‘Whatever OCD”?

The bigger question, is why would you not join the hub?!

The “Whatever OCD” Recovery hub allows people to access my experience and expertise in a low-cost but effective format. 

It is entirely possible to overcome OCD without engaging in expensive treatment, but it is essential to have access to the right information

However, as you probably know, OCD can be very sneaky and it can be hard to utilise the information without OCD getting in the way and trying to put you off track!

By joining you will have someone with expertise in your corner – you can ask questions, discuss ideas and learn from me and each other. 

The classroom section allows you to learn more at your own pace or you may want to attend some of the live calls to motivate you, discuss specific issues and super-charge yourself against OCD.

Input, information and suggestions are in line with best practice treatment for OCD.  

You’ll gain the tools, insights, and support you need to take back control of your life, and create lasting change. It’s there for the taking if you want it!

Calls are currently open to all members of the community to join as and when it suits.  There are several every week at different times to help as many people as possible access them.

On the calls you can join in with camera and sound, or if you are feeling shy you can just listen. 

Calls vary from problem solving specific issues, developing exposure ideas, and offering support and feedback as required.

This is a common concern and one of the most compelling arguments for why groups sessions are so valuable in the fight against OCD. 

By hearing others talk about their struggles you will recognise how OCD works in pretty much the same way for everyone, regardless of the content. 

This goes a long way to helping you take the risk of letting go of listening to the content of your OCD and empowers you to be able to deal with your OCD if it suddenly switches to a new theme, which is one of its favourite tricks when it realises you are starting to get the better of it!

The short answer is that you don’t! It’s impossible to know things for sure, which is one of the biggest challenges often faced when you have OCD.

OCD demands certainty, which, of course, is an endless pursuit as you never get it. 

I could tell you that you should definitely join and that it is absolutely right for you, but even then OCD would only be a reassured for a little while before it found a way to get you doubting again.

As a guide, the “Whatever, OCD” Recovery Hub may be for you if:

  • You know or suspect you have OCD
  • You don’t know much about OCD or you’ve read everything you can find!
  • You want practical tools that you can use in everyday life.
  • You would benefit from support and connection.
  • You are willing to practice responding differently, even when it feels uncomfortable.
  • You want to work through a recovery program at your own pace.
  • You feel isolated or ashamed of your OCD experiences.

 

Choosing to stick up for yourself and going against your OCD by taking the risk of committing to overcoming it is the first step in fighting back and learning to take healthy risks and live with uncertainty. 

If it’s worked for others, why shouldn’t it work for you?

Join BUTTON – Good point – I’m willing to give it a go!

But Aren’t individual sessions the best way?

Many people believe individual sessions are preferable because of the one-to-one nature.  Although individual sessions are effective research shows us they are not necessary for OCD recovery.

In my experience, the combination of self-directed learning and group work is equally, if not more, effective and efficient as individual sessions. 

Benefits include:

Access to resources and support daily rather than waiting for next scheduled session

Expose OCD’s disguise: OCD keeps its power by convincing you that your particular fear is different. Working alongside others exposes the shared process underneath, helping you step back from the content and recognise OCD for what it is

Being part of a community and building relationships promotes wellness and increases accountability

Supporting others on the community embeds learning and makes you stronger against OCD

Seeing others improve offers hope and inspiration

Hearing others share unacceptable/bad/immoral content destigmatizes your own content and helps reduce shame

And then of course it’s way more time and cost effective

I want to help people feel as comfortable as possible to take this step, so even though you get immediate access to the entire recovery program you can cancel anytime if you find it is not for you and you won’t be charged again.

(most people stick around though!)
