The OCD Healing Journey

Getting to the Heart of Our Obsessive and Compulsive Struggles

Take The OCD Healing Journey

Teaching based on the book with questions, application and Q&A access.

Many are finding themselves under the clutches of disturbing thoughts and emotions that keep showing up in their mind. They often get lost in how to respond to these intrusive thoughts that demand for their attention.

While obsessions and compulsions are not a new struggle, the term OCD is fairly new. Yet for a while, many have misunderstood this challenging mental health battle as only that surrounds cleanliness and strict order. Yet it goes way deeper than that.

Mark DeJesus found himself locked in the trenches of OCD, but did not even realize it for a long time. This book uncovers many chapters of his life where he had to recognize how obsessions and compulsions influenced his life and how to walk in greater freedom and healing.

It seems our world is becoming more obsessive and compulsive. With increasing anxiety, stress and worry, there are many who are secretly wrestling with intrusive disturbances in their thoughts that are stealing their peace.

The good news is that obsessive compulsive struggles do not have to own the final answer on your journey. Mark is living proof that you do not have to remain under the weight of OCD your whole life.

This book is a blueprint of his journey getting to the heart of the struggle that has helped many to make sense of what they battle with and how to embrace their own journey of healing.
