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.
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, you’re 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.

Parents LOVE GoHackify!
We LOVED the GoHackify program!
My son and I did the kid program and I did the parent component as well. He has come so far! Thanks to GoHackify, we were both able to really understand what was happening in his head. I learned so much and could actually support him in helpful ways. It makes me cry to think about how hard OCD was for us in the beginning. Now, he can identify his triggers and differentiate between OCD thoughts (spammy) and real concerns. I cannot thank you enough for what you've given my family.

I wanted to let you know how using the GoZen! Programs made such an enormous impact on my son.
We thought he was struggling with anxiety and ADHD issues. I ordered your programs and we began watching them together. We accidentally started watching your program that deals with OCD. I was going to shut the OCD videos off because it didn't relate to him and I didn't want him to get thoughts he had OCD. However, we did watch a couple of the animations and he suddenly curled into me tightly and said "no mommy please keep playing these." He said the animations spoke to what he was quietly fighting inside. I will never forget this "lightbulb" moment and we might have never figured it out if we had not watched those GoZen! videos together. Thank you for such amazing work and helping kids everywhere understand what is going on internally. It helps them know they aren't alone and there are ways to help.

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.
| Allison Solomon, PsyD Licensed Clinical Psychologist |
 |
This is the first program that has provided tools my children readily understand and use on their own.
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.
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 |

The GoZen! videos have helped engage even some of my more challenging students.
I am always looking for ways to grab students’ attention and find meaningful ways to explain key therapeutic concepts. 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.
