There are no words for the fear OCD had on me. I was ashamed of myself, living in constant anxiety, and had accepted that this would be the state of my being for the rest of my life. A state where I was afraid to be a mother, afraid to be alone, afraid of every possible “What if?”. When I was approached with the Bergen 4-Day Treatment I was desperate for any form of treatment but incredibly apprehensive that anything would work for me. Almost my entire first day of the Bergen treatment I cried out of shame, fear, hopelessness and just hatred for myself. On the last day, I cried out of joy, happiness, acceptance and freedom. I could feel my “old self” starting to break free already. My life was stollen from me with OCD, and I’m incredibly grateful to have it back. There are no words for my gratitude and appreciation for the Bergen 4-day treatment program and for the incredible clinicians that led me through it

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.
