What to Expect:
This bi-monthly meeting is peer-facilitated by Greg & Cale as well as other volunteers from the OCPD community.
Attendance is open to anyone with OCPD whether suspected, self-diagnosed, formally diagnosed, or anything in-between. If you feel that you are struggling with any of the symptoms we hope that this group will provide greater clarity, tools, and direction.
We also welcome loved ones of those with OCPD who are looking for tools to better support their loved ones exhibiting OCPD traits.
We’re currently facilitating topic-based discussions centered around group interests. (e.g. OCPD &…. work, emotions, relationships, perfectionism, etc.)
This recurring meeting is a great place to:
- learn & explore more about OCPD in a safe, reflective environment
- share your personal experiences with OCPD
- listen & ask questions about OCPD
- connect with others over our similarities and differences
After the official portion of the meeting has concluded there is a high likelihood that the meeting will continue as it transitions into an informal, unstructured “Parking Lot Time”. Discussions during this time are free to follow the interests and discretion of the remaining group attendees.
