The Obsessive Outsiders is a stigma shattering and mental health movement founded on the book, “The Obsessive Outsider.”
Our primary service is OCD coaching led personally by our founder, kerry Osborn.
Coaching can be an essential asset to both everyday life as well as those who are seeking accountability, support and in OCD therapy and Recovery.
Kerry has unfortunately seen the worst of ocd. She has completed extensive & intensive personal exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treatment via the gateway institute, as well as years of therapy and mentorship from Gateway in California. kerry has a Bachelor's degree from concordia university, Irvine, and specializes in communication and business techniques that best suit her individual coaching clients. Additionally, Kerry is certified from the national council for behavioral health in mental health first aid and crisis usa. here at the obsessive outsiders, we firmly believe that it is not just the amount of psychology classes and degrees that make a profound difference in overcoming ocd, but the amount of learned experience. That personal experience is one thing kerry does not lack. kerry worked for years to break the foundation of her severe ocd, and she successfully lives a life in ocd recovery today. Since Kerry has personally "cracked the ocd code," She desires to be the accountability and inspirational coach and friend outside of therapy that she wishes had been available to her.
There is something to be said for the therapeutic touch of someone who has been through the worst of what you are going through - and has lived to tell the tale and help save others from the pitfalls if possible.
we firmly believe in seeking therapy from a licensed health care professional is the golden standard for treatment - which is why one of our primary services is to do our best to connect you with a trusted therapist or treatment center, especially if you have never before received treatment. Take it from someone who knows and has been through many therapists who were not properly trained in treating OCD.
As the years persisted, kerry began to stumble upon an unfortunate reality - Dare we say sometimes therapy isn't enough in the long run? It can be expensive, feel disconnected at times, and infrequent for dealing with everyday life in between therapy sessions. Let's say you go to therapy for one hour once a week. Wouldn't that be enough? What about the other 23 hours of the day you still have intrusive thoughts and are compelled to perform compulsions? Do you trust yourself to be your own therapist those other 23 hours? What about the other 167 hours throughout the week when you're just trying to live your life but get set back almost as soon as you leave your therapists office only to feel further defeated? We want to teach you the mentality and techniques to become your own personal therapist stemmed from a successful patient perspective. understanding and implementing this tool is what ultimately led kerry to ocd recovery.
We are there for you when someone can't be. We offer custom options with unlimited support, because we know what it is like to not be able to just call your therapist. We hope you love the friendship and support based coaching system kerry has instilled through the obsessive outsiders.
