OCD- Obsessive and Intrusive Thoughts Virtual Peer Support Group
Welcome to Your Community
We run three sessions, every Monday at Noon ET, every Friday at 7pm ET and two Sundays a month at Noon ET.
Many don't know that they have OCD, they don't know that intrusive thoughts circling like a broken record is often something called Pure OCD. But once you know you can then begin work on the many tools available to learn to live a normal life and reduce the frequency and potency of these thoughts. These are groups where you can learn strategies working for others living with OCD, and most importantly, come to realize that you're not alone.
