Description

Does OCD impact your dating sex life? Do you find yourself compulsively avoiding sexual intimacy, with a partner or yourself, and dating because of obsessions? Do you use sexual intimacy and dating as a compulsive checking mechanism? Is it difficult to stay present during sexual intimacy and on dates when unwanted intrusive thoughts and images are popping in? Do you struggle with the urge to check and see if the sexual intimacy feels “right” to you? Are you compulsively asking for consent again and again? Do you want to understand the difference between secrecy and privacy when it comes to sharing about your OCD?

If so, this workshop is for you!

In the hour presentation, I will address:

• The various impacts of OCD on sexual intimacy and dating (and vice versa)
• Compulsive sexual activity and dating
• Coping with intrusive thoughts and images during sexual intimacy and while dating
• Mindfulness skills to utilize durning intimacy (solo and partnered)
• The role that (values-based) sexual intimacy and dating can play in OCD treatment
• Secrecy vs. privacy when dating
• Arousal non-concordance and its impact on OCD
• And more!

The last 30 minutes of the workshop will be comprised of a Q&A where you can ask questions related to the workshop or anything else!

The workshop will be recorded to replay. Everyone who purchases a ticket will receive a copy of the workshop recording. You do not have to attend live to receive the recording.

The zoom link will be sent out one hour prior to the start of the workshop.
