What This Group Is

This relapse prevention group is designed for individuals who have already completed an active phase of treatment and are working to maintain the progress they’ve made. Members come from a range of backgrounds including OCD, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD, and perfectionism, but share a common goal: continuing to apply evidence-based strategies in real life.

The group focuses on strengthening skills like acceptance of uncertainty, mindfulness, and values-based action, while providing a space to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect with what works.

Who It's For

  • Individuals who have completed treatment (ERP, ACT, CBT, etc.)

  • Those in a maintenance phase of recovery

  • People comfortable with basic therapy concepts (e.g., uncertainty, mindfulness)

  • Anyone wanting accountability + community + consistency

Why These Discussions Matter

Recovery isn’t just about what happens in therapy—it’s about what happens after.

 

These discussions are designed to help participants stay engaged, apply what they’ve learned, and continue moving forward even when things feel uncertain or inconsistent.
