ZACH’S FOUNDING LETTER TO YOU

I still remember the day my mind turned against me.

In 2016, seemingly out of nowhere, I was hit with a flood of intrusive thoughts so vivid and terrifying that I didn’t recognize myself anymore. It felt like a hijacking. I spent every waking moment analyzing, checking, and seeking reassurance—desperate to prove that the thoughts weren’t true.

Within months, I hit rock bottom. I was exhausted. Isolated. Convinced I was losing my mind.

But in the depths of that struggle, I found something that changed everything: OCD-specific treatment.

Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I learned a truth that felt deeply uncomfortable at first: Recovery isn’t about stopping the thoughts or getting rid of them. It’s about changing how you respond to them.

As I began to recover, a new frustration set in. Why was this life-saving information so hard to find? Why was therapy so expensive? And why did so many people—millions of us—have to suffer in silence for years before finding help?

That’s why I built OCD Space.

I wanted to create the tool I wish I had back in 2016 when I was at my lowest moment. A place where you don’t have to wait to get support. A platform that bridges the gap between therapy sessions and the 167 hours a week we spend living our lives and managing OCD.

So we built a different kind of support

OCDSpace.com is a web-based recovery platform built specifically for OCD—not a generic anxiety app. It combines structured recovery education with real-time tools—grounded in over 1,000 hours of ERP work and patterns observed across 900+ clinical OCD cases.

And it includes Oscar—the world’s first clinically trained AI OCD coach built for one job: Helping you respond to intrusive thoughts in a recovery-aligned way during spikes.

Oscar is designed to provide:

  • Emotional validation (without feeding the OCD cycle)
  • OCD education (so you understand what’s happening)
  • Compulsion awareness (including sneaky mental compulsions)
  • Coaching on recovery-aligned responses (not reassurance)
  • ERP support (imaginal scripting + in-vivo exposure suggestions)

Oscar isn’t a chatbot. He’s built on the same principles that saved my life—designed to help you practice recovery skills, face fear, and build the resilience to handle whatever your mind throws at you.

And to be clear: OCD Space is designed to complement therapy—not replace it.
