As a clinician, educator, and someone who has lived with OCD for most of my adult life, the B4D program helped me make a huge leap forward in my growth. I am now learning what life can be like as a full person. I highly recommend this program to everyone struggling with OCD and anxiety, no matter where they are in their recovery. My team were both partners and collaborators in this challenging work. The therapy and activities were tailor-made to my needs, and I felt heard, supported and seen when it was the hardest. They regularly surrounded me with kindness, compassion, and humor while working with me to both unpack and lean into my fear. As a strengths-based program, I have come to reframe my view of myself and my brain as normal. Thanks to my partnership with B4D and all the clinicians and patients that have informed the evolution of this program, I now see that I am capable of anything.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
