Brett Bauma spent forty years living with severe OCD that nobody around him could see. On the outside he was a husband, a father, and a successful professional. On the inside his brain was running a relentless loop of worst-case scenarios, driving loops, compulsive checking, and contamination fears that stole hours from every day and kept him from being fully present for the people he loved most. He tried four psychiatrists and more medications than he can name. None of it worked. At forty years old, at his wife's urging while she was simultaneously fighting breast cancer, Brett finally found a psychologist who specialized in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. She looked him in the eye and said three words that changed everything: it is fixable. Brett is the author of Fixable, a raw and honest memoir about his four-decade battle with severe OCD, the faith that sustained him, the wife who never let him quit, and the treatment that gave him his life back. He is not a clinician. He is someone who lived it, fought it, and came out the other side — and he wrote it down for everyone still in the fight. He is available to speak about what severe OCD actually looks like from the inside, why it goes unrecognized in children, why medication alone is rarely enough, what ERP therapy is and why it works, and why it is never too late to fight for your own mind. Fixable releases July 1st, 2026. Contact: brettbauma@gmail.com Website: brettbauma.com Tagline: "It's fixable. I'm proof."
