Family Group Therapy

Family Group Therapy

Guilt, exhaustion, frustration, helplessness, and feeling overwhelmed are common themes expressed by family members of OCD sufferers. Spouses, siblings, parents, friends, and significant others sometimes feel isolated by these emotions because they lack an outlet to voice their concerns. Loved ones often believe they are not able to discuss the reality of OCD’s impact on the family’s dynamic, out of fear that others cannot relate, fear of stigma, or concerns about hurting the individual living with the diagnosis.

OCD Set Free offers therapist-led support groups that allow loved ones to interact with, get support from, and relate to individuals who have shared experiences. Our OCD family support groups explore topics like: OCD basics, self-care & coping techniques, removing guilt & shame, managing conflict, and how to prevent enabling & promote change. These sessions are meant to be a safe environment for loved ones, but also a positive environment that does not villainize those diagnosed with OCD.

Family group sessions have limited availability and are on a first-come, first-served basis. The minimum requirement is 6 participants and the maximum number allowed is 12. Reaching out to us promptly will prevent you from having to be placed on our waiting list for a future session.
