Resources
Self-guided resources from my practice. Use them between sessions, or on their own if weekly therapy isn't within reach right now. Each one is a printable PDF that lands in your inbox right after you buy it.
Workbooks
A self-guided workbook based on the Wider Life Model™. Map your OCD cycle, give your OCD a name, practice good enough certainty, build your own exposure ladder and response prevention plan, and widen back into the life OCD has taken.
Understand the fear of being sick and the nausea–anxiety loop, map your safety behaviours, follow a sample exposure ladder and build your own, and gradually bring back the foods, places and plans the fear has taken.
Bundle
The Wider Life Workbook for OCD plus the Steadying Toolbox. You get the full program, and the skills to ride out distress along the way.
Guides
Break the cycle of body checking, googling and reassurance. Map your safety behaviours, make a steady health plan with your doctor, cut back on checking step by step, and practice exposure.
Understand panic as a false alarm, map your last attack, safely practice the body sensations you fear, and build a ladder back to the places panic has taken.
For partners and families. Learn how fear pulls loved ones in, how to offer support instead of reassurance, and how to gently step back from accommodating it, together.
Build your own grounding kit with something for each of your senses. It includes step-by-step guides to grounding, progressive muscle relaxation and quick body-based skills for high distress.
