I have OCD “toward people.” It often means obsessive thoughts, hyper-focus, reassurance seeking, fear of losing someone, or looping worries about relationships, attachment, or how you’re perceived. It can feel intense, consuming, and exhausting, especially because people aren’t predictable the way thoughts want them to be. It can look like overthinking every interaction, replaying conversations, needing reassurance, fearing abandonment, or feeling stuck on one person or situation. It’s exhausting, confusing, and often invisible to others. This isn’t being dramatic or “too much.” It’s a brain trying to find safety in a world that feels uncertain. You’re not broken for this. Your brain is trying to protect you by clinging, checking, replaying, or controlling outcomes but it does it in a way that hurts instead of helps, because it involves people you care about. With OCD toward people, the mind grabs onto a person or interaction and treats every thought like an emergency. Mindfulness slows that process. It helps you recognize, this is a thought, not a fact, and creates a small pause between the urge and the reaction. Mindfulness helps because it teaches you how to notice thoughts without letting them take control. It doesn’t stop thoughts from showing up. It changes your relationship with them. Instead of fighting or feeding them, you learn to let them pass without judgment. Even one mindful breath, one body check-in, or one moment of awareness can interrupt the spiral. Small pauses add up, and those pauses are where healing begins.

My name is ReBe, and everything I share in this course comes from lived experience, personal healing, and the real moments that shaped me. I am not teaching from a classroom. I am teaching from life. I have no degree in mindfulness and no formal certification. What I do have is years of navigating my own inner world and helping others walk through theirs. Mindfulness became part of my life because I needed it. It helped me through stress, emotional heaviness, and the days when my thoughts felt louder than anything around me. I learned how to slow down, how to breathe with awareness, and how to understand what I was feeling instead of reacting to it. Over time, these practices changed how I moved through the world. People around me began to notice the difference. Friends came to me for support. They trusted me with their fears, their confusion, and their hopes. I found myself helping others use the same tools that helped me. Not because I had official training, but because I understood what they were going through. I understood how to listen. I understood how to guide someone back to their breath, their body, and their truth. My qualification is simple. I have lived this. I have practiced it. I have shared it with real people who needed clarity and grounding. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed. I know what it feels like to rebuild. I know what it feels like to learn presence the slow and honest way. I am not here as an expert. I am here as someone who has walked the path and is willing to walk it with you. Everything I teach is something I have used myself. Everything I guide you through is something that has supported my life in a meaningful way. I am grateful you are here.
