Stop OCD Compulsions - Learning To Stay With The Urge

OCD often creates a powerful urge to do something like check, seek reassurance, analyse, avoid, repeat, confess, or try to get certainty. This six day course will teach you the skill of urge surfing - a practical, evidence-based technique often used with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you stay with uncomfortable urges without automatically acting on them. Across six short lessons and guided practices, you'll learn how to: - Recognise urges earlier - Create space between an obsessional thought/doubt and a compulsion - Observe urges without immediately responding - Learn to tolerate discomfort and uncertainty - Understand that urges rise and fall naturally - Choose actions based on what matters to you rather than what OCD demands Each day builds on the last, helping you develop confidence in your ability to respond differently when OCD shows up. By the end of the course, you'll have a practical skill you can continue using in your everyday life whenever urges to engage in compulsions arise. Please note: This course is designed to complement, not replace, professional mental health support. If you are struggling significantly with OCD or your mental health, please seek support from a qualified healthcare professional.
