Looking for New People with OCD for Mastermind Group

[Bear632]

Hey there,

I'm looking for 1-2 people with OCD who'd like to join an OCD mastermind group I'm in the process of creating. This group is free (minus your time), and is specifically for the benefit of its members. You must have OCD and want to improve it to be considered. A basic understanding of the nuances of the condition is preferred, but not required. 

Our mission is to support and provide feedback to each other to facilitate better management of OCD symptoms.

We meet Mondays after 6:00pm Pacific standard time. If you have any questions, or are interested, comment or message me. Otherwise, here is the outline of what a meeting would be like:

1. Welcome each other (4 minutes)

2. Facilitator asks who wants to go 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (1 minute)

3. Opening round: facilitator asks each person to complete the following: (10 minutes)

A) Right now I'm feeling ____________.

B) My "win" for the past week was _______________.

C) Regarding my commitment from last week, I _________________.

4. Facilitator sets a timer for 16 minutes, and the first person uses that time to share how they are feeling, discuss struggles or challenges they're having related to their OCD, and get support from the other people in the group. Sharing for 10 minutes and leaving 6 minutes to get feedback and support is a good practice. When the timer goes off, it's the next person's turn. (64 minutes)

5. Closing round: facilitator asks each person to complete the following: (8 minutes)

A) My "takeaway" from this week's call is ________________.

B) This week I commit to ____________________. (One person writes down these commitments in a safe place so they can be referenced the following week.)

6. Scheduling. Double check we can all make next week's meeting, or find an alternative time if not, and pick a new facilitator for the upcoming week. (3 minutes)

i see u are doing this for a good cause but I think this type of enrolling goes against forum guidelines.

@happyhappy

I re-read the guidelines and think I'm OK. But thanks for pointing this out.

Hmm, this sounds really interesting. Is it on Zoom?
