Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like being trapped in a room with a bully who never stops talking. The constant intrusive, unwanted, or repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and the draining compulsions can steal your peace and joy. Compulsions can look different than portrayed in the media or online and include avoidance behaviors, rituals, checking, reassurance seeking, confessing, and rumination, some of which are mental compulsions that others cannot see. You might have tried to fight back, only to feel more exhausted. But what if the path to freedom isn’t about fighting harder, but about learning to face the fear differently? This is the core of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, a powerful tool that offers real hope.

The start of a new school year brings both excitement and uncertainty for many families. For many families, it marks the beginning of a season filled with anticipation, excitement, and unfortunately, anxiety. If your child has been experiencing sleepless nights, stomachaches, or tearful outbursts as the school year approaches, you're not alone. Back-to-school anxiety affects millions of children and their parents each year, but with the right tools and perspective, families can navigate this challenging transition with confidence and peace.

Change is one of life's few constants, yet it never seems to get easier. Whether you're facing a career shift, moving to a new city, adjusting to parenthood, or processing the loss of a loved one, transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the path ahead.

The good news is that you don't have to navigate these challenging seasons alone or without tools to help you cope. By understanding the nature of transitions and implementing proven strategies rooted in both faith and psychological research, you can move through periods of change with greater peace and resilience.

Life transitions often trigger stress because they disrupt our sense of stability and predictability. Our brains are wired to seek patterns and routines, so when familiar structures disappear, we naturally feel unsettled. However, these same periods of upheaval can become opportunities for growth, deeper faith, and positive transformation when approached with the right mindset and support.
