Supporting someone with OCD is challenging. These evidence-based approaches can help.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.
Call for Family SupportIt’s common for people with OCD to resist treatment. Fear of facing triggers in ERP can feel overwhelming. These approaches can help.
A structured conversation facilitated by a mental health professional can help your loved one understand how OCD is limiting their life. Therapists trained in OCD can explain ERP in a way that reduces fear and builds hope for meaningful improvement.
Rather than confrontation, express concern with empathy. Ask open-ended questions: “What would your life look like if the rituals took up less time?” Focus on what OCD is taking away from them. Let them arrive at their own motivation.
Boundaries protect your wellbeing and can motivate change. Gradually reduce your participation in OCD rituals and reassurance-seeking. Be specific about what you will and won’t accommodate, while expressing love and support for treatment.
People move through precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Your loved one may not be ready for action yet — but that doesn’t mean they won’t be. Meeting them where they are is more effective than pushing them where you want them to be.
If there’s immediate danger — suicidal thoughts, severe depression from OCD, self-harm, or risk of harm to self or others — call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately. OCD-related despair can escalate to crisis and professional help is essential.
Our admissions team can guide you even if your loved one isn’t ready.
