Obsessive Compulsive Inventory — OCI

The OCI is a useful assessment tool in sex addiction recovery to determine if we have obsessive compulsive tendencies that are playing into our sex addiction. If we do, it’s vital to address that in therapy/coaching.

Filling out these assessments takes some effort, but this data is very valuable. Knowledge is power. You can tame what you can name.
