I’m so grateful to God/the Universe/All That Is that I came across OCD Recovery when I did. I ve been having weekly sessions with Gemma for nearly ten months and although this is still considered to be early in recovery my life has improved greatly. 10 months ago I was suffering from suicidal thoughts, could barely go shopping or leave the house. I was addicted to crack and weed. All I would do was stay home all day watching self help videos on you tube. I nearly dropped out of my open University degree course twice. I wore my mild strength distance glasses everywhere to try and hide my face from people because of my chronic guilt and shame relating to real events and intrusive harm thoughts.

Now, 10 months on, I swim 4 times a week, cycle, belong to two book groups and a writing group and have stayed in University and am getting high grades. The suicidal ideation has gone, and i am drug free. In fact, I am now actually looking forward to doing as many exposures and shame attacks as I possibly can because a friend today has asked me to go to the Rift Valley in Kenya with her for Christmas, so I want to be prepared! I thought I couldn’t be helped because I also suffer from schizo affective disorder but I’ve been helped by enormously by Gemma, and also what the coaches and clients say in the WhatsApp groups and excellent webinars. I pay by subscription and it’s very affordable and I am committed to recovering. Thankyou so much Gemma, the coaches and Phil. You’re all awesome and I’ll be forever indebted to you. I feel you are literally saving my life
