Okay, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I have not told anybody this yet, except my husband and my assistant.

0:11.9

And I wanted to give you as much heads up as we can. Now, next week on April 21st, we are doing a special launch of your OCD toolkit.

Now, this is our comprehensive step-by-step course for OCD.

0:29.1

If you're somebody who struggles with OCD and you're wanting to really understand exactly

what I do with my clients, you're going to love this course. It is a beast. It's about
