Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Recovery Support

  • You are not crazy. You are not broken. You’re stuck in a cycle that feels uncontrollable and you deserve help grounded in love and understanding.

At TruPaths, we understand that OCD is not a personality quirk or something to joke about. It’s a very real condition that can cause distressing, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that feel impossible to turn off. Whether you're silently suffering or trying to support someone you love, we're here to walk beside you with compassion and clarity.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

When thoughts won't let go and actions feel impossible to stop

OCD is a mental health condition where intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) trigger compulsive behaviors aimed at reducing fear or anxiety. It’s not about being organized or neat, it’s about feeling trapped in thought loops and rituals that interfere with peace of mind and daily life.

Fear of Harming Others
Even if it's unintentional or unrealistic

Obsessions about causing harm, physically, emotionally, or morally, often lead to avoidance, checking, or excessive reassurance-seeking.

Intrusive Moral
Disturbing fears about values and identity

Unwanted thoughts related to religion, sexuality, or morality that cause deep distress and may result in mental compulsions or guilt.

Need for Perfection
When things must feel “just right”

An intense need for balance, order, or exactness that leads to arranging, repeating, or checking behaviors to relieve discomfort.
