A Training that Treats the Overlap
Parts Expansive: OCD & CPTSD for Practitioners & Facilitators
This 6-hour training is designed to help practitioners and facilitators deepen their understanding of OCD and Complex PTSD as protective systems. Together, we will explore how these experiences can be understood through a parts-based lens, how they overlap and interact, and how this understanding can inform both clinical care and psychedelic preparation, facilitation, and integration.

Why This Training?
We are noticing something in the room, and we don't think it's random.
As social, political, and cultural uncertainty continues to intensify, many of us are witnessing OCD and Complex PTSD symptoms surface, shift, and intertwine in new ways. We see it in ourselves, in our clients, and in our communities.
The overlap between OCD and CPTSD is often overlooked, leaving practitioners and facilitators without adequate frameworks for understanding the complexity of what they are witnessing. This training offers a space to explore these intersections with curiosity, nuance, and community.
Whether you work in clinical settings, psychedelic spaces, or other healing professions, you are invited to join us in a collaborative learning environment where we can share perspectives, deepen our understanding, and build confidence in supporting those navigating these experiences.
Our collaboration brings together two distinct but deeply resonant orientations. Lindsey offers her expertise as a IFSLevel 1-trainedlicensed therapist, grounded in trauma-informed practice, parts theory, and anxiety/OCD treatment. Sunnie works as an abolitionist practitioner devoted to decolonizing therapy through anti-oppressive, somatic, and psychedelic frameworks. Together, we offer an expanded vision of what healing systems can look like when relational depth, social context, and embodied care intersect.
What unites us most is our shared love for parts work as a healing practice and social repair—a way to remember what is whole, even in fragmentation. Together, we create spaces that are both clinically grounded and somatically expansive—where practitioners can deepen their capacity to sit with complexity, curiosity, and compassion while treating OCD & CPTSD.

A Note From Lindsey

A Note From Lindsey 〰️
“ I am a person curious about people, and so I have been a lifelong deep listener, question-asker, and observer. As a therapist, I am drawn to meeting people within the human experience, and helping to bring relief to suffering.
I am a highly sensitive person, and I myself am well-acquainted with anxiety.
In my personal life, I am a big fan of cuddling and napping with my dog, taking neighborhood walks to watch gardens change with the seasons, and laughing at dumb jokes with my spouse.”
