Dating, Intimacy, and Creating a Social Life for Young Adults with OCD

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Trying to have a social life with OCD can seem impossible - many people with OCD worry about dating and find forming and maintining close relationships to be difficult. The panel will also focus on issues young adults face as they navigate a social life. Through role-playing, panelists and attendees will act out scenarios that practice social skills such as telling others about your OCD, mock dates, dealing with intimate moments, and handling an OCD surprise attack. We will provide practice scripts for use at home. This workshop will allow attendees to share their own examples and will leave time for questions.
