If this sounds familiar

Hours of your life. Places you don't go. People you've pulled away from. A private war that's hard to explain to anyone.

If you've carried this for years, the time it took to get here isn't lost. The condition has a name, and real treatments exist. Understanding both is where this starts.

Understanding OCD

OCD treatment isn't about stopping thoughts. It's about loosening their grip on daily life.

OCD is a well-studied condition with established, structured treatments.1 See the loop. Choose your day.

Conicia for OCD teaches you how OCD works, in plain language, drawing on what established, evidence-based therapies for OCD (ERP, I-CBT, and ACT) understand about the condition. Lessons to learn from, and skills to practice in daily life. It's the first Conicia program: built for one condition, and complete on its own.

Psychiatrist specializing in OCD · Founder, Anxiety Relief Clinic

He has spent more than a decade treating OCD. He spent more than seven years on faculty at UCSF, where he co-directed the Anxiety and OCD clinic. He has treated hundreds of people with OCD, and watched what recovery can look like, even for people who'd spent years sure they were beyond help. Conicia for OCD is educational material, written down.

"OCD's tricks are predictable. That's the good news. Once you can see them, you have something to act on."

On screen, not outsourced

He's the one explaining it to you.

If medication is part of your treatment, there's a series of short videos where Dr. Fisher walks through how it works, side effects, and the questions patients actually ask. That's Dr. Fisher himself on video; the course's optional lesson audio is an automated copy of his voice.

Sensation. Not instruction.

Inside the program

Lessons that show you OCD's tricks. Tools for the hard moments.

In our words

How we talk about OCD.

The clinical language for OCD can sometimes feel cold. It doesn't have to! We strive to be precise about how OCD works and warm towards the parts of you dealing with it, without shame, jargon, or false reassurance. These are a few of the themes we keep coming back to.

A thought,not a threat.
Not certain about everything.Certain enough to live free.
Feel it.Don't obey it.
Compulsions aren't the escape.They're the trap.
Loud,not in charge.
Uncomfortable,not dangerous.
The thoughts can stay.I stopped answering.
An alarm,not an oracle.
OCD is making it upas it goes.
Let them shout.I get to drive.
A slip isn't the story.It's just a page.
Maybe.And I can handle it!
Let it throwits tantrum.

What the lessons draw on

The treatments built for OCD, specifically.

Conicia doesn't deliver these therapies. It teaches you what they understand about OCD, with the practical judgment that comes from treating it case after case, so you can make informed choices about your own care.

There's no answer OCD will accept.

However you're starting

You don't need a therapist to use Conicia for OCD. If you have one, even better.

On your own, Conicia for OCD is a self-guided program for understanding OCD and building skills that help anyone in daily life, like noticing your thoughts, sitting with discomfort, and acting on what matters. It's made for the many people who start without a therapist, or who can't easily find or afford one.

Working on this with a therapist or prescriber? That's Conicia Together. It's the same OCD program, connected to the clinician you already see, with more the two of you can do together, so what you practice here feeds into your sessions. It costs you the same as going on your own.
