OCD Mastery Intensives for Military Wives
Reduce your OCD symptoms by 35-50% in just 9 intensive sessions, even if you've silently battled intrusive thoughts about harming those you love most and tried medication and talk therapy for years without relief.
You're holding it together through another deployment, managing everything solo, keeping the household running...
But inside, you're following rules that OCD created to keep your family safe.
It’s another sleepless night. You're lying in bed next to your husband - the military man who's supposed to be your safe harbor - but your mind won't let you rest. The intrusive thoughts are relentless: “What if something bad happens?” “What if I hurt my family?” “Why can't I shake this feeling?” “If I don't say this prayer exactly right, God will punish my family.” “If I don't check his location one more time, I'll miss the signs and he'll cheat.” “If I don't take the safe route, something terrible will happen to my family."
You pray to God for the third time tonight and repeat the prayer. Again. You know it's irrational - your psychology degree tells you that much - but the feeling to repeat the things you do is stronger than logic.
it’s beyond you.
As a military wife, you've mastered the art of being strong for everyone else. Through deployments, relocations, and the constant uncertainty of military life, you've been the rock. But now, in what should be your peaceful off-duty time together as a family, or you and your family living normal life while your husband is on deployment, you can’t relax because of what’s inside your own head.
You've become an expert at hiding the internal war. Smiling at the spouse's unit gatherings while mentally performing rituals to keep your family safe. Nodding along at coffee with other military wives when right before you left the house, your husband was fighting with you saying, “Why can’t you just stop thinking about all of this?”
Following these OCD rules feels like life or death.
Skip one and your chest tightens, your mind races with worst-case scenarios - from your harming your loved ones, to your husband cheating, your children dying. You’re sure if you don't do them, something terrible will happen.
You can't eat. Your stomach is in knots from the constant anxiety, and food just doesn't appeal anymore. You can't sleep - lying awake at 2 AM replaying conversations, worrying about what you might have missed, feeling your heart race every time you think about breaking one of OCD's rules. You cry at the drop of a hat - a commercial, a song on the radio, your kid asking a simple question - because you're so exhausted from fighting your own brain all day.
And it's not just the rituals that are stealing your life.
During deployments, you follow strict cleaning rules - vacuum the dog hair off the couch in horizontal strokes, arrange the throw pillows in exact order, clean the bathroom sink before the toilet. Your husband can't help when he's home because he doesn’t sweep all the up under the cabinets or doesn't vacuum thoroughly enough, and breaking the pattern feels like inviting disaster.
You check his social media at specific times each day, monitor his phone location, analyze every text for hidden meanings. OCD whispers, "If you don't stay on top of it, you'll miss the signs and he'll cheat" or "If you're not careful enough, you won't catch it in time to stop it."
You're exhausted from following OCD's rules while trying to be the strong, resilient, and mentally tough military wife everyone expects.
When you get home, you find yourself:
Checking and rechecking that the tv remote is on the side end table like it should be, researching your husband’s phone locations for any extramarital activity, and Googling every symptom you feel to make sure you or your children and grandchildren aren’tdying
Performing mental and physical cleaning and harm-avoidance rituals around the house for hours, convinced that if you don't, something terrible will happen to you or your loved ones
Exhausted from being hypervigilant of your husband during what should be relaxing and chill time when he’s home from trainings and of your travel routes - even when you’re just going to get groceries around the corner -
The worst part? You've spent decades being the dependable one - the military spouse who could handle anything. Now you feel like you're failing at the one thing that should come naturally: enjoying your family.
You think:
“I should be stronger than this.”
“Other military wives handle deployments fine.” or
“What's wrong with me?” and worse.
The shame keeps you silent, suffering alone with compulsions that feel too strange to share.
But What If Life Looked Different?
Imagine What's Possible When OCD No Longer Controls Your Life
Picture Sunday morning:
You're sitting in church, and for the first time in years, you're actually listening to the sermon. Not performing mental prayer rituals. Not mentally reviewing every spiritual thought to make sure you haven't "sinned." Not starting over in your head because OCD said you weren't focused enough.
You're just... worshiping. Feeling connected to God. Experiencing the peace and spiritual fulfillment you've been craving. Your faith - the thing you value most - is finally yours again, not OCD's.
After church, you come home and pray with your family before lunch. A simple, heartfelt prayer. You stumble over a word, and instead of panic, you just keep going. Because you know God hears your heart, not OCD's demands for perfection.
And on a regular Tuesday:
Your husband is home on leave, and he offers to vacuum while you make dinner. Instead of your chest tightening with anxiety, instead of taking over because "he won't do it right," you just say "Thank you, honey" and let him help.
The house gets clean. Your marriage doesn't fall apart because he vacuumed in vertical strokes instead of horizontal. And you have energy left to actually enjoy the evening together instead of being exhausted from following OCD's rules.
You're cooking dinner, and you're not following some elaborate pattern of how things must be done or afraid that you’ll hurt your family in any way. You're just cooking. And it feels... normal. Free. Like you're finally living in your own home instead of being held hostage by rituals.
And while your husband’s away on deployment:
He husband calls during his lunch break. You talk about your days, laugh about something funny the kids did, make plans for his next leave. You say "I love you," hang up, and then... you just go about your day.
You don't spend the next two hours replaying the conversation. You don't check his location five times. You don't scroll through his social media looking for problems. You just trust your relationship and move on with your life.
And it feels amazing. You have three extra hours in your day. Hours you can spend with your kids, on hobbies you've neglected, on rest you desperately need. Hours that used to be consumed by checking and analyzing and looking for problems that didn't exist.
Your health?
You're sleeping through the night. Not waking up at 2 AM to check his location or mentally review your prayers or worry about being unsafe for your grandchildren or breaking one of OCD's rules. Just sleeping. Deeply. Peacefully.
You're eating meals with your family and actually tasting the food. Your stomach isn't in knots from constant anxiety. You've gained back the weight you lost. You have color in your face again. You have energy.
You're not crying at the drop of a hat anymore. You can handle normal stress without falling apart. You have emotional bandwidth for your kids, your husband, your life. You feel like yourself again.
Your family relationships?
Your kids come to you with their problems, and you're fully present to listen. Not distracted by OCD's demands. Not mentally performing rituals while they're talking. Just there. Available. The mom they need.
Your grandchild runs up to you with sticky fingers and chocolate on their face, wanting a hug. Instead of your mind immediately jumping to "What if I hurt them?" - you simply scoop them up and enjoy their giggles.
Your husband looks at you and sees his wife again - not someone consumed by anxiety and rituals. You can laugh together. Be spontaneous. Make plans without OCD dictating what you can and can't do.
Your family gets to experience the real you - the woman who values connection, who wants to be present, who has so much love to give when she's not exhausted from fighting her own brain.
Can you imagine what it would feel like to:
Wake up and pray without it taking 45 minutes of starting over and getting it "perfect"
Attend church and actually worship instead of performing mental rituals the entire service
Let your husband help around the house without anxiety that he'll do it "wrong"
Have a phone call with your deployed spouse and just enjoy the conversation instead of analyzing it for hours afterward
Go to bed at night without checking his location one more time
Drive any route you want without avoiding roads OCD labeled as "dangerous"
Eat meals with your family and actually have an appetite
Sleep through the night without anxiety waking you up
Have energy for the things you love instead of spending it all on rituals
Feel emotionally stable instead of crying over every little thing
Be present with your kids instead of being trapped in your own head
If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself with:
‘Cause for too long you have gone to Google for answers… getting really stuck reading posts in Facebook mom groups and going down rabbit holes of research for hours.
You want to feel comfortable & close with your kids like you’ve always wanted.
OCD can attack anyone and
it’s easy to feel like,
“Why me?”
You wonder if
anyone understands the mental drain you go through.
You wonder if
someone switched brains with you, would they feel on edge all the time?
You wonder if anyone sees your pain.
You don't need to feel like you are losing your mind.
You are deserving of a happy life.
And your kids think so too!
That’s why I created a special program for moms who are struggling with:
Intrusive thoughts (scary things you don’t want to happen)
Compulsions (things you do to feel better)
Hopelessness in feeling like nothing else is working
Most new moms (up to 100%) experience unwanted intrusive thoughts about their baby. According to a study by Brok et al.:
4 weeks postpartum = all women experienced at least one intrusive harm thought
8 weeks postpartum = intrusive thoughts peak, with a gradual decline thereafter
12 weeks postpartum = 19% of women still had active harming intrusions
Exposure response prevention (ERP) is the “gold standard” treatment for OCD.
When changing the relationship with THE things that scare you, the quieter the thoughts become.
In a few weeks from now, you want to:
kiss your kids goodnight instead of feeling ‘weird’ that you hugged them too long.
read your kids a bedtime story instead of distancing yourself.
Cut vegetables for your kid’s lunch while they play in the floor near you.
‘Cause the thoughts have no meaning, no power AND
they no longer control you!
You’ve spent hours learning more than you wanted to know about your intrusive thoughts— when all you really want to do is:
stop worrying if these nightmares are true
stop doubting your real self
stop spinning in your OCD bubble
Have you ever wondered why the medicine wasn’t helping the way you expected? That’s because there’s no magic pill to help you fully zoom out of the vicious cycle.
Medicine cannot replace that corrective experience your brain can only get from exposure response prevention therapy. When working with a therapist who specializes in OCD, you won’t be judged for your thoughts, compulsions, and experiences.

Common Feedback from Graduated Clients:
You’re getting authentic transparency here!
“I can manage my OCD symptoms in a healthy way.”
“I can manage my OCD symptoms in a healthy way.”
"I'm able to get back into a sense of normalcy."
"I'm able to get back into a sense of normalcy."
It's time to give yourself permission to get help —
once and for all.
You COULD try to solve this is probably something like ...
not trying to think about your intrusive thoughts.
(Gosh, if we had only thought of that idea sooner!)
Or…
you could keep going with the self-help books and Facebook mom groups.
But the anonymous confessions are a compulsion that only feeds your OCD.
Or….
see a psychiatrist for medication and stop there.
But that is not going to get the thoughts out of your head.
You just want to enjoy life with your kid
Your kid is a kid NOW. Their childhood, bonding time with you, and making memories are happening today. The days are long and the years are short... but can you get their childhood back for $5,800?
No dollar amount can compare to what you’re willing to do to be the best mom you can be.
If you choose to wait on getting help for your OCD, how much longer are you going to hold out on authentically enjoying moments with your child?
There is only 1 individual spot available per month for this intensive therapy program!
In a Teen Vogue interview, "Stranger Things" actress Shannon Purser discussed her struggles with OCD and depression, sharing:
"Looking back, I wish I’d been able to reach out for help sooner."
Shannon PurserAnd not to mention: “It was overwhelmingly comforting to finally realize that I wasn’t alone and that nothing was wrong with me. It was a treatable disorder.”
Since specializing in OCD, my therapy services have helped dozens of women
just like you over the past year.
We can continue working together past the 3 weeks, if you need it. Those sessions are 60 minutes at $195. More than likely, after this first 3 weeks, you feel like, “That’s a wrap!” 🎬because you feel in control again.
I’m Erin Davis, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and OCD specialist, helping those in the spirals of intrusive thoughts to come out of that valley and enjoy the view with mindful resilience.
This ain’t for everyone.
This program is designed to give you results in 3 weeks instead of 6+ months.
These are longer sessions to give you more support and quicker results.
You can enjoy Christmas with your kids around the tree this year, eating food at Thanksgiving around the table with your little ones, and blow out candles on your kid’s birthday cake… together.
Nope. I'm not going to sit here and say this is for everyone. But if …
You have not found a therapist that specializes in OCD where you can freely talk about it, no matter how dark and ugly, to purge it out and get the right help you need.

Have you noticed the tricks of the OCD con artist?
As a mom, your little one’s childhood is precious,
& so is your quality of life.
You can’t get this time back.
How do you want your kid to remember you?
“Okay yesss the part of this where you talk about not being happy or grateful because something bad is going to happen. I feel that so much. My ‘something bad’ is negative thinking and panic attacks. When I start to feel happy my mind goes to ‘but you’re depressed’ ‘but you have major spiritual doubt’ ‘but you are gonna be anxious and have panic attacks.’ It’s a huge rut to get out of!”
— Quote from a YouTube fan, @rachaelmartin5229
