For Freedom OCD Therapy Group
Let's help you undo the knots of obsessions, scruples and perfectionism...
The For Freedom OCD Therapy Group is an 8 week group led by growing expert Cathy Durando MA, PLPC for those dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Scrupulosity or Perfectionism. With a blend of psychoeducation and process, we will discuss what we know about the OCD cycle and the mind’s ability to both establish and break the cycles of obsession and compulsion. We will be making use of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Mindfulness and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy), which is the gold standard for treatment of OCD.
You will have the opportunity to break out of the isolation that OCD creates and support others who are facing the same struggles. It is a powerful moment when others are allowed to see you as you are and meet you there, and more powerful still when God brings healing through those others. We will meet Tuesday mornings from 7:30-8:45 for a 75 minute session.
The Details
The loneliness of ruminating thoughts can be a driving force and a self perpetuation of the obsessions and scruples. As scary as it may seem, the antidote of connecting, talking to others and learning about OCD in a group format will help lower shame and the hiding you may be experiencing.
Hearing other peoples stories is a great way to navigate perfectionism and intrusive thoughts. Relating to others and having a community to process help normalize symptoms in order to heal and recover from OCD. You can count on the therapist to lead an encouraging, safe and thoughtful group to find more freedom in your day to day life.
The For Freedom OCD Therapy Group will meet for 8 sessions on Tuesdays from 7:30am - 8:45am either virtually or in person. The CFH has the technology to provide both and integrate the group either way. This is a closed group, thus we ask that you commit to the 8 weeks in order to create safety and solid expectations within the group. No other clients will be allowed in the group after the first session. The group will be capped at 8, thus a small size to tailor treatment to your needs.
The cost of the group is $65 per session. Your card will be charged on or around the Tuesday of the group. Thus the total for the 8 weeks is $520. For comparison, typical one hour, weekly individual therapy costs around $500 per month.
