Kick Childhood OCD to the Curb with GoHackify!
94% of people experience intrusive thoughts (according to science).
For one in every 100 children, these thoughts can be hard to ignore.
"Let me check the lock again..."
"I just need to wash one more time..."
"My parents are in danger..."
Kids engage in rituals to get rid of these anxious thoughts and feelings... Unfortunately, this doesn't work.
OCD is a vicious cycle:
Help your child break the OCD cycle with GoHackify!
GoHackify! is the first-ever fully animated OCD relief program for kids. You can purchase access below and begin watching lessons immediately. Want to see how we teach? Check out the GoHackify! trailer:
Take back control for your child and your family.
Watching your child suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder can be nothing short of heartbreaking. As a parent, you want to ease the pain of your child. You want to lend them the logic they need to halt the irrational fears, thoughts, and habits. You want to feel empowered again to make positive changes in the life of your child and family. If any of this resonates with you, youâre in the right place.
If you've tried reassurance, logic, empathy, and even anger to try to break through what seems to be an impenetrable sequence of thoughts and rituals, and you've been unsuccessful, you are not alone. The tools required to defeat OCD are often not intuitive. They are also different than simply reframing and restructuring thoughts, a cornerstone of traditional cognitive behavioral therapy.
In GoHackify!, we have gathered the latest and greatest research all across the board. From neuroscience, to mindfulness, to positive psychology and acceptance and commitment therapy, we have rolled up the best practices for fighting OCD into an engaging, powerful animated program for your kids.
What will my child learn?
By the end of the course, your child will have an understanding of what OCD is, where it comes from, and how to effectively deal with it. Check out some concepts they will master:
- Obsessive Thoughts are Brain Spam! Obsessive thoughts are what we call Brain Spam or junk mail sent to the brain.
- OCD creates a loop or The Spammy Cycle. Exploring The Spammy Cycle will help your child understand why they repeat rituals and never get any relief from their feelings of anxiety.
- Spammy is a trickster in the brain. We personify the hiccups in a child's OCD brain with a character named Spammy. Spammy is a trickster, but once we know his game, we can turn it right around on him!
- How to tell if something is Brain Spam or not. Sometimes obsessive thoughts are very compelling--they scare kids because they seem true. We teach kids how to figure out if a thought is relevant or not.
- What to do with Brain Spam since ignoring it doesn't work. We will teach your kids the art of mindfulness as well as other research-based methods to quiet obsessive thoughts.
- How to disengage from rituals. One of the hardest things to do when you have OCD is to break rituals. We teach kids several fun methods to disrupt and eventually kick ritualizing to the curb!
- Weathering anxiety. Anxiety and fear are part and parcel of OCD. We teach kids how to face and embrace their anxiety until it passes.
- How to talk back to Spammy! Talking back to one's OCD serves many purposes. It separates your child from the disorder, it externalizes the issue, and it allows your kids to retrain a part of the brain responsible for OCD.
- Much more! This page is already long, we don't want to keep you here all night! This program is jam packed with rich, powerful, entertaining content.

Here's what professionals say
about GoZen! programs:
I absolutely LOVE the GoZen! program. As a specialist in CBT for anxiety and related disorders, I have not come across a program until seeing yours that has been even remotely as well executed, clinically sound, and engaging as GoZen!
I am so pleased to have added it to my library of clinical tools and eagerly await anything else you may release.
Dr. Allison Solomon, Psy.D., PLLC
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
As a parent of children who struggle with anxiety and a mental health clinician working with many clients who also struggle with anxiety, I have found GoZen! to be informed by empirical research, accessible to both children and adults, engaging and interesting and most importantly, effective.
This is the first program that has provided tools my children readily understand and use on their own. The creators of GoZen! brilliantly combine likable, amusing characters whose struggles validate the experiences of many children, with the latest in brain science research on effective anxiety treatment.
Elizabeth Wade, MS, LMHC
Psychotherapist
I am always looking for ways to grab studentsâ attention and find meaningful ways to explain key therapeutic concepts. The GoZen! videos have helped engage even some of my more challenging students. The humor and relatability of the characters help children feel more at ease and ready to discuss their experiences.
I have used this program with both elementary and middle school. It provides a comprehensive understanding of anxiety and strategies to manage this uncomfortable emotion. It provides a complete curriculum, but I have also used segments to augment my own lessons. It has been a great addition to my groups and a powerful tool in my arsenal.

In the GoHackify! program we also rely on research done in the areas of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, neuroscience, exposure and response prevention, character strengths, and distress tolerance.
Below are specific academic studies and texts referenced in the program:
Still have questions?
Is my child too old (or young) for GoHackify?
We created GoHackify! for children ages 8-15ish. But honestly, we have children from ages 4-25 using our programs. The skills we teach our universal; with proper facilitation any age child can benefit.
Will GoHackify! cure my child's OCD?
GoHackify! is not a cure; instead it's an educational program where kids learn research-based methods to understand and manage OCD. There are many children that have used GoZen! programs to successfully manage and overcome anxiety disorders.
Will GoHackify! replace medicine or professional therapy?
GoHackify! is not a replacement for medication; you should always consult your doctor before discontinuing medication for your children.
Many parents and educators use GoZen! programs on their own or in addition to therapy. GoHackify! should not be considered therapy. Instead, it's an educational program that comes jam packed with practical, research-based methods to fight OCD.
Can my kid(s) go through the program on their own?
Sure! That said, we strongly recommend parents go through programs with children as this will facilitate implementing the new tools they learn.
How long does it take to go through GoZen?
We recommend going through 1 module every few days. There are 5 modules in total. Some prefer to go through it all at once and then go back through it again at a slower pace. We recommend not trying to rush it--kids need time to let the lessons sink in.
You have access to the program for one full year, so you can always come back.
Can I download the videos?
All of the videos are available through online streaming, so while you cannot download them, you can access them from anywhere with an internet connection.
Are the programs mobile friendly?
Yup! We designed all of GoZen! to be mobile friendly. If you run into something that doesn't work, we're happy to troubleshoot with you.
What if it doesn't work?
We have a 30-day money back guarantee on our online programs. We wonât charge you if it isnât working for you.
What if I still have questions?
You can contact us at any time with questions by sending an email to go@gozen.com, or asking through live chat when we're online.
