🌱 About Touch Base

💌 Our Story

OCD can be deeply isolating. For so many of us, there are moments when it feels like no one else could possibly understand what we’re carrying. I know this because I’ve lived it too.

I’m Megan Spencer, a therapist (Resident in Counseling) and a human in the OCD community. I created Touch Basebecause connection is what I needed most — a reminder that we don’t have to go through this alone.

✉️ Why Letters?

In a world that moves fast and lives online, Touch Base is intentionally slow.
We connect through handwritten letters — words you can hold, reflections you can return to.

Each month, members are invited to write and receive a letter through our exchange system. These letters become invisible roots, grounding us in community and reminding us that even when OCD feels heavy, none of us have to carry it alone.

🌿 Our Mission

To help people with OCD feel connected, cared for, and understood.
Touch Base is a monthly letter exchange built by and for the OCD community. By slowing down to write and receive letters, we root ourselves in connection — letters that connect, community that understands.

✨ What You’ll Find Here

💌 A monthly letter exchange connecting you with another member of the OCD community
🌱 A safe, supportive space grounded in confidentiality and respect
📬 Gentle prompts and reflections that nurture grounding and growth
🌿 The Root Members Circle — our deeper community tier with newsletters, Q&As, and events

🕊️ A Note from Megan

Touch Base was built with care — for the quiet moments, for the ones who need a reminder, for all of us who have ever felt alone in this. I hope each letter reminds you that connection is still possible, that your words matter, and that you belong here.

✨ Because the OCD community deserves to touch base with one another.
