The Thoughtfull Mom
**This support group is currently on pause**
I facilitate a virtual support group for expecting and parenting mothers experiencing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD and related disorders).
Do you struggle with excessive fear of germs or contamination, a need for things to be “just right,” intrusive thoughts of harm? While this is not an exhaustive nor diagnostic list, the symptoms of OCD and related disorders can be especially distressing when becoming a mother. OCD attacks what we value most and keeps us from participating in and enjoying our lives.
I run the group according to the Group Peer Support model and aim to create courageous spaces for each person to share their struggles in mothering with OCD. I invite you to join, learn from, and share with a group of mothers living with OCD.
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. Contact me for the meeting link.
“As far as I know, I'll always live with OCD. But my hope is that it remains more in the background, that I can tell the difference between my own voice and the voice of my OCD. I’m learning to trust my own intuition more and more every day. And I practice a lot of mindfulness, just trying to enjoy the little moments like my toddler taking forever to put on his shoes. There's beauty in that.”
