LISTEN I’m not saying I don’t talk to my clients, OBVIOUSLY I talk to my clients - lol

I’m just saying if that’s all you do .. if literally all you do is validate, reflect, provide a warm and safe space - you’re doing the bare minimum and when it comes to a nuanced condition like OCD (and I’d argue even anxiety), you’re doing more harm than good when you JUST. DO. talk therapy.

You need more. You deserve more. You wouldn’t see a general practitioner for a heart condition.

I’m a licensed therapist who’s been working with people who have OCD and anxiety since 2008. I’ve worked with some of the most debilitating, complex cases in the world. So if you’re looking for someone who knows what the F she’s talking about - hi, thanks for being here.

IYKYK 😅

I couldn’t take anymore emails or DMs from people who said they’ve been in therapy for years with an “OCD therapist” who is using relaxation training, trying to find the root cause behind their OCD, and challenging their thoughts with logic. I’m DONE. 🚫🚫

So I created a metaphorical USB drive with 15 years of experience and my own personal experience with OCD. It’s called The OCD and Anxiety Recovery Blueprint. 👏

But who exactly is The OCD and Anxiety Recovery Blueprint FOR? 🤔Well, ya see, The Blueprint is comprised of 3 courses overall so let’s go one by one, shall we?

🌱The Foundation: those who are at the beginning stage of their journey, someone who tried other modalities of therapy that *shocker* didn’t work, someone who is is willing to change their perceptions and attitudes to start taking action in their recovery

💪The Transformation: someone who’s ready to do this recovery process right aka not rushing and skipping to the exposure part too soon, someone who understands the importance of ritual prevention even if they’re not totally positive how to do this part, someone who is eager to learn about mental compulsions and how to resist them, someone who is willing to banish the words “I can’t” from their vocabulary

🤩The Endgame: those who have been working on their OCD/anxiety for a good bit now, someone who has a deep understanding of ritual prevention (prerequisite!), and someone who wants MORE - like, a life-altering, I’ve never been in this much control kind of shift, and someone who wants to win against OCD - not just tolerate its presence

Get all 3 in a bundle for some additional savings and bonuses like 17 additional subtype specific videos and a chance to work with me in a support group format for 16 weeks - AHHHH!

If any of this makes you feel like YAASSS JENNA THIS IS WHAT I NEED - DM me or comment the word BLUEPRINT for more information and I’ll send ya a link to start today!

This will change everything.

Mistake 1️⃣: you’re worried about exposures before you start building your ritual prevention muscle. The only point of an exposure is to put yourself in an anxiety provoking or triggering situation SO. THAT. you can practice a new response. Eg: touch something dirty without washing. Do something weird without asking for reassurance. Close something without checking. The “without ###” piece is critical.

Mistake 2️⃣: trying to “get rid of” anxiety or find a quick fix. Nothing in life worth having is quick and easy. Be real with yourself. If you wouldn’t expect to play piano with mastery in just one fell swoop, why do you expect to get rid of anxiety so easily. this isn’t about getting rid of anything - trying to get rid of it is literally how you got to this dysfunctional place- so what you must do is own your reaction to anxiety and take responsibility for your relationship with it

Mistake 3️⃣: overly identifying with your subtype or thinking yours is somehow special or different. Truth bomb - it’s not. The only reason you have this subtype or that subtype is because it’s what YOU aren’t tolerating uncertainty about, which boils back to your values. What you value, feel responsible for, and aren’t willing to take stakes on to a dysfunctional degree is going to be where you get stuck. But you can learn to address your rigid beliefs about this and you can still have a great kick ass wonderful life. The more you invest or fight for or argue that your subtype is special or different or whatever the more logs you’re putting on OCDs fire. It’s smoke and mirrors.

If you ‘love’ your OCD… you probably don’t have OCD.

Because OCD?
It’s not cute.
It’s not aesthetic.
And it’s not a personality trait.

Real OCD feels like:
• intrusive thoughts that terrify you
• compulsions you hate doing
• doubt that hijacks every decision
• anxiety that feels like a full-time job
• shame that keeps you silent

No one with actual OCD is out here romanticizing it - they’re trying to survive it.

If you read this and thought, “Oh sh*t… that’s me,” you’re not alone.

You’re dealing with a misunderstood medical condition that absolutely can get better with the right approach.

Don’t treat it like an OCD problem one day then a legitimate problem the next day.

Don’t resist rituals for a couple hours only to go down to Google rabbit hole later because you got a bad feeling.

You have to decide. Do you want to treat this as an OCD problem? Or do you want to treat this as a bad relationship?

Guess what. I don’t care which one you pick. (Obviously I do if there are clear and obvious and indisputable red flags like abuse so don’t let your anxiety brain be obtuse here).

But you have to pick. And you have to stop freaking going back and forth. Stop waffling. WAFFLE NO MORE.

Decide to treat it like anxiety and treat it like anxiety even when and especially when it doesn’t feel like it’s anxiety. Or.. decide to treat it like a relationship problem and do something about it (counseling, break up). But you stop waffling about it and make a damn decision. And no it won’t feel 100% easy or right, either. Sorry.

But you can do this. And I outline this in even more loving and ass kicking detail for you in my digital course, The OCD and Anxiety Recovery Blueprint.

Just DM me or comment the word BLUEPRINT and I’ll send you more info!

Honestly FML and my brain 😅 🚔

12/09/2025

If you’ve ever told someone you have OCD and they respond with,

“Oh same, I just love to clean,”

you’ve probably felt that mix of shame + frustration.

The truth?⤵️
There’s a massive difference between liking things neat and having intrusive, disturbing thoughts that completely violate who you are.

Real OCD looks like:
❌ “What if I snapped and hurt someone?”
❌ “What if this thought means I’m dangerous?”
❌ “Why does my brain think this? What does it mean about me?”
❌ Mental checking on repeat until you’re exhausted.

OCD isn’t about organization.

It’s doubt, fear, and compulsions that hijack your life.

If you see yourself in this, you’re not alone - and you’re not the person your thoughts try to convince you you are.
