With New Year’s Eve quickly approaching, many of us will begin experiencing a sudden burst of goal making energy over the next several weeks.
Not wanting to be left out of this inspirational time of year, I too have tapped into this energy and managed to map out a tentative blog post schedule for 2020. I look forward to spending next year learning together about this very underrated mental disorder.
Check out my home page which will keep you posted on what date my next post will be. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on any of these helpful blogs. And most importantly, if you think this blog can help someone in your life who might be exposed to O.C.D., please share!
