Shown to reduce OCD symptoms by 34% in 8 weeks time and endorsed by world-renowned OCD expert, Dr. Michael Jenike, Live OCD Free is an interactive application designed to guide users through the only evidence-based treatment, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. If you are struggling with OCD, ERP should be the foundation of your treatment program as research indicates it will significantly reduce symptoms for 80% who engage in this form of treatment. For more information on ERP, please consult the International OCD Foundation website at www.OCFoundation.org.
For adult users, this app will help create exercises to diminish OCD symptoms, set practice goals and rewards to increase motivation and consistency (the keys to success with ERP), provide a multitude of tools to help fight OCD at any given moment (including specific tools for checking compulsions and contamination fears), and allow users (and any professional they may be working with) to track and monitor their progress.
The children’s version, while having the same capabilities as the adult version, is game-like and engaging. Live OCD Free will guide child users through their battle with the Worry Wizard in an effort to reveal his true identity and, most importantly, conquer their OCD.
Live OCD Free includes both adult and child video tutorials as well as an extensive 30-page user’s guide with invaluable information that will enable users to utilize this program as an effective self-help tool or as an adjunct to therapy with a professional.
This program may be adapted for use with other OCD spectrum disorders including Body Dysmorphic Disorder, health-related OCD or Hypochondriasis, Tourette Syndrome or other tic disorders, as well as more general fears and phobias.
For additional support and guidance along the journey to living OCD Free, our newly launched Live OCD Free forum (accessible from our website, www.LiveOCDFree.com) provides ongoing support from OCD experts and other sufferers. Additionally, expert consultations and ongoing therapy may be provided to those who wish to work with a professional but do not have access to treatment with an OCD specialist in their area.
