This could change the future of OCD treatment in Canada.

But only if people know about it.

After years of talking about the gaps in OCD treatment, I decided to stop talking and start building.

I pitched the idea for what is now Canada’s first university certificate dedicated to Exposure and Response Prevention, helped develop it, and now have the privilege of teaching it through Wilfrid Laurier University in association with True North Psychotherapy.

This isn’t about adding another credential to your wall.

It’s about making sure people with OCD can actually find therapists who know how to treat it.

So here’s my ask…

Please share this. Widely.

Tag a therapist. Send it to your workplace. Forward it to a colleague. Put it in your stories.

If enough people see this, we don’t just fill a course—we change the standard of OCD treatment in Canada.

Exposure Response Prevention doesn’t make you worse.

It takes away your escape routes.

The compulsions, the reassurance, the little “just in case” moves… yeah, those.

Of course it feels uncomfortable when you stop doing them.

But uncomfortable ≠ worse.

It means you’re finally not letting OCD run the show.

Reassurance feels amazing.
For about 5 minutes.

Then OCD comes back louder… and now it wants more.

That’s the trap.

If I keep telling you “you’ll be okay,” I’m not helping you..I’m feeding the exact cycle that’s keeping you stuck.

Good ERP therapists are trained to sniff this out fast.
Not because we’re cold. Not because we don’t care.

Because we do😘

We’re not here to make your anxiety disappear in the moment.
We’re here to help you learn that you can handle it without needing someone to save you.

That’s where real freedom is.

And yeah… sometimes that means I won’t give you the answer you’re hoping for 😬

But I’ll sit with you while you learn you don’t need it.👊🏻

If your algorithm brought you here, you should probably stick around for a while and follow along🥰

DBT isn’t about being calm.
It’s about not making things worse when your nervous system is lit up.

Most people don’t need more insight.
They need skills they can use in real time… mid-email, mid-argument, mid-spiral.

That’s exactly what we do in group tru
