Recovery from OCD & Anxiety-Related Disorders Should Be Accessible To Everyone
But have you ever wondered why it feels like such a struggle to find someone who actually understands what you are going through and more importantly, knows how to help you?
If you struggle with OCD & Anxiety I don’t have to tell you that the more and more fear controls your life, the smaller your life becomes, the dimmer your future seems, and the more and more powerless you feel.
Taking Back Control was created for people who are currently stuck in OCD & Anxiety Loop and want to become their own healer by applying proven, evidence-based strategies to break out of the loop and reclaim their life.
This program was made for you if:
You feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings and don't have clarity on what to do or how to handle them
You feel like you want concrete strategies to apply in your everyday life, instead of constantly chasing momentary relief
You want to be coached and guided by people who really understand you and who have also gone through what you are going through...and even more importantly, have gotten better
You want to be around others who prioritize their health and recovery and refuse to let OCD & Anxiety have anymore control over their life
You want to be able to feel like you're back in control of your life and you have the freedom to pursue your dreams, build amazing relationships, and look towards your future with a sense of hope and optimism
You don’t have to wander aimlessly and alone on this path anymore. Join Taking Back Control and get everything you need to become a competent and confident individual on how to address OCD & Anxiety head-on in your life. Which will enable you to start living your life on your terms and no longer letting fear call the shots.
The REAL problem is you've been trying to solve the wrong problem.
Your understanding of a problem determines the actions you take to try and solve it. And the actions you take are going to determine your results. And if you aren't getting the results you want the best thing you can do is shift your understanding of the problem. This is especially true with OCD & Anxiety.
Most people that are stuggling see their intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings as the problem, so they engage in behaviors to reduce or eliminate their thoughts and feelings
However the real problem is that OCD & Anxiety operates in a loop, and this loop grows the more you feed it.
And you feed it by engaging in safety behaviors (both physical and mental) that reinforce your fear.
No matter what kind of OCD & Anxiety you're experiencing you will always find the same FOUR main components.
The truth is, your problem is ACTUALLY all the different Safety Behaviors you do to get rid of your uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.
The paradox of the OCD & Anxiety Loop is that the harder you try to get rid of your intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings the more safety behaviors you engage in.
And the more safety behaviors you engage in the more you reinforce the loop and the more stuck you become.
This is exactly why you feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels in the mud.
You can only escape when you CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY to something that is totally against your initial instincts.
The problem has nothing to do with a lack of effort on your part. You are just focusing your effort on the wrong things. And as a result, OCD & Anxiety gains more of a presence in your life. And you fall deeper into the hole.
So if you are stuck in this loop, it’s time to take back control.
And using a NEW STRATEGY to change your Behaviors, NOT your Thoughts & Feelings is the key that unlocks your success.
If you’re like most people with OCD & Anxiety you probably feel like there are too many safety behaviors to even count...
and they also probably feel so automatic.
This is exactly where most people get lost, they focus on what NOT to do as a goal (don’t wash, don’t check, don’t analyze, etc.)
This usually leaves people feeling confused and trapped in this void...
This is why you need a Solution Focused Approach that guides you on
exactly WHAT TO DO (mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally) every time intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings pop up.
Which is exactly why you need...
The Triple-A Response™
Your New Approach to Break Free from OCD, Anxiety, & Psychological Stress
The Triple-A Response™ takes out all the guesswork and acts as a true north star each and every time OCD & Anxiety shows up, so you confidently know how to respond in your head, in your body, and in your life.
As you implement the Triple-A Response™ you naturally eliminate all of the safety behaviors.
By eliminating the behaviors you will stop the OCD & Anxiety Loop from spinning.
By stopping the loop, you escape the lens of fear and are able to see the situation from a completely different perspective.
Which will enable you to make choices that are aligned with your values, instead of making choices out of fear. This will empower you to take back control of your life, build better relationships, and pursue the things that really matter to you.
And I'm Going To Teach You How To
MASTER IT IN YOUR LIFE!

Five Exclusive Bonuses Completely FREE
to make your progress even faster and your success even easier. Starting with...
BONUS 1
A 31-Day Meditation Program For OCD & Anxiety
There's a big misconception that meditation is supposed to quiet the mind. And when people try it and their mind goes wild, they conclude "I'm not good at meditation" or "this doesn't work for me". But in this complete 31-Day series, I break down how to use meditation specifically for OCD & Anxiety Recovery.
BONUS 2

The Guided Audio Recordings are designed to help guide you through moments of panic. It'll provide you with 24/7 access to audio walkthroughs, right on your phone, to guide you through times when anxiety gets really intense so you know exactly what to do.
BONUS 3
Overcoming Sleep Anxiety & Insomnia Workshop
Nothing is worse than not being able to sleep. Sleep is one of the ways our body regulates stress and when we don't sleep it actually causes more stress in our body. In this bonus training, I am going to show you how to apply your tools to sleep anxiety and insomnia so you get the proper amount of zzz's.
BONUS 4
Helping A Loved One With OCD & Anxiety Workshop
Explaining your struggle with anxiety to your loved ones can be tough. And watching you deal with anxiety can be equally tough on them. So in this bonus workshop, I talk about ways for your family members to support you on this journey. My hope is that you can give this training to the people that you trust to help you on your journey to recovery.
BONUS 5
Overcoming Chronic Pain Workshop
There is a huge overlap between OCD & Anxiety and Chronic Pain. In this workshop, I am going to introduce potential emotional causes of chronic pain and TMS (The Mind-Body Syndrome). I’ll also introduce how many of your skills that you learn in this program can be applied to chronic pain.
BONUS 6
Cognitive Distortions Workshop
Recognizing how cognitive distortions can affect your own thoughts and behaviors can be challenging. In this bonus workshop, I delve into the concept of cognitive distortions and provide practical strategies to help you identify and address these distortions within yourself and develop the skills necessary to challenge negative thought patterns and foster a healthier mindset.
Meet Your Guide
My name is Matt Codde. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I help people who are struggling with OCD & Anxiety take back control of their lives by helping them master the Triple-A Response™.
As someone who personally struggled with OCD & Anxiety for years, I know how challenging it can be to navigate all the chaos and find the right help.
My experience with OCD & Anxiety started my first semester of college and my life got completely flipped upside down I went from a confident, outgoing young man, to becoming consumed by intrusive thoughts and anxiety...to the point where I was afraid to sleep in my own bed.
I felt embarrassed about what I was going through, and the more OCD & Anxiety took over, the smaller my life became.
After living in this loop for several years, I eventually got to the point where I simply dreaded the idea of waking up and having to fight through another day. I became more and more depressed and started to lose hope for my future.
But one day I had this sinking realization: All this energy I was using to fight my thoughts and feelings wasn’t working. So instead of trying harder, perhaps it was time to shift gears and try a different approach.
And this ultimately led me to create The Triple-A Response™.
The more I used the Triple-A Response™, the less I was in my head and the more I was living my life. Eventually, I started having entire days where I felt clear, and then weeks, and then entire months. And more importantly, I started to see my future with hope and excitement again.
The Triple-A Response™ helped me reclaim control of my life and pursue things that I once thought impossible.
And as I got better and better, my mission shifted from just trying to help myself, to getting this out to the millions of others who struggle daily with OCD & Anxiety.

Taking Back Control
Don't take it from me!
Listen to what my students have to say:
Here are some more testimonials from my previous students:
"Taking Back Control Program is far more superior than anything else I have come across"
"Matt is very knowledgeable in the guidance and direction in and through the recovery journey from OCD/Anxiety. His tools and the structure that he teaches within his Taking Back Control Program is far more superior than anything thing else I have come across on the web why?....because he's lived it and been through it and has direct inside knowledge that far too many others don't have because they haven't been through it, they been taught it, and there is a huge difference between the two. I highly recommend TBC if you're serious about recovery and getting your life back on track!"

"Hey Matt, This Program has really helped me, I can't thank you enough. Of course, there are still moments when Anxiety creeps up, but I am able to see it clearly and follow the Triple-A Response™. I feel so much better than just a few months ago. Thank you for creating the program and giving me the tools. You have done a great service to people with OCD and Anxiety.

"For the first time in my life, I found hope"
I have suffered from various forms of OCD since my early teenage days but was unaware of what was really wrong with me until finding this program. I thought I would just have to keep fighting this from time to time for the rest of my life. I approached the course with much trepidation, as it meant facing the fact that I had a problem that I could not fix on my own. Once I took the step, I felt immediately supported by the caring and understanding community. Just knowing we were all in this together and rooting for each other gave me a huge sense of relief. For the first time in my life, I found hope, especially knowing that Matt had been there and found the way out. The program enabled me to see what my life could be outside of the lens of OCD and to work toward this. OCD had cost me so much in terms of career and relationships. As I worked through the program I had the tools to attack the OCD and live free, to not 'take the bait' of thoughts that come from OCD. My life has changed, I am at peace. Please do this course, like me, you have nothing to lose and your life to regain.

"Taking Back Control provided me with a toolkit and new skill set to handle whatever life throws my way."
Prior to connecting with Restored Minds I was in a debilitating state of anxiety which led to a lengthy search for a therapist that could help. After almost one year of treatment with 6 different therapists, I was still not improving. It was out of hopelessness that I went to Youtube and discovered Matt and Restored Minds. The Taking Back Control program has given me the tools and techniques to overcome my anxiety disorder. Rather than just experiencing "talk therapy",Taking Back Control provided me with a toolkit and new skill set to handle whatever life throws my way. I am forever grateful for the program and therapy sessions that have given me my life back. I would highly recommend Restored Minds & Taking Back Control to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or psychological stress in any area of their life.

"I’m still in disbelief how quickly this program changed our lives for the better."
"It’s hard to overstate how much Taking Back Control helped our family get through a difficult time. From a husband’s perspective, I was in a constant and desperate search for the right things to do or say that might ease the pain my wife was feeling through her battle with OCD, anxiety, and depression. I never gave up hope even in the darkest times but I began to accept that there was not going to be any quick fix. And I don’t want to say it was overnight but I’m still in disbelief how quickly this program changed our lives for the better. My wife was willing to open her mind and work at it but Matt’s videos resonated immediately. From day 1 her understanding of how to deal with the anxiety and outlook on life changed dramatically. We both learned and continue to realize how these are tools to live a healthier and happier life. I will be forever grateful to Matt and Restored Minds."

"I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone struggling with OCD & Anxiety."
"I struggled with OCD & Anxiety for decades and I was very fortunate to connect with Matt. This program was very helpful to me as well as my family. He was very knowledgeable and passionate, drawing on a breadth of personal experience. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone struggling with OCD & Anxiety. The focus here is on building tools, facing fears, putting in the hard work, and essentially becoming your own therapist. I feel more equipped than ever before to navigate life's challenges, and I want to thank Matt for that new found confidence."

"Enrolling in this program is truly an investment in oneself!"
“I highly recommend this program for individuals with OCD & Anxiety. Matthew is truly gifted in his ability to give over the techniques and tools for the treatment and management of OCD & Anxiety with extreme clarity, understanding, and encouragement for individuals who are struggling. OCD & Anxiety help and training has never been more accessible. No more excuses. Enrolling in this program is truly an investment in oneself!”

"...the benefits of not being scared of and controlled by anxiety continue to be priceless."
I can not express how much the Taking Back Control program has helped me. I bounced around from different therapists and healing approaches without any success and I was left with even more anxiety and confusion. Once I began the TBC program I was filled with hope, as it felt like Matt was reading my mind. I decided to focus entirely on his teachings and tools as if it were my job. The personal journey isn’t easy but the benefits of not being scared of and controlled by anxiety continue to be priceless. The teachings are simple and very well laid out. It is so nice to go at my own pace and to be able to refer back when needed. There is such a sense of peace knowing that I am not alone and that anxiety is not a life sentence. Thank you, thank you!

"As soon as I signed up, Matt was with me from the first step, which gave a sense of comfort."
I was troubled with OCD from early 2019, only realising what it was by late 2019. Like so many it disrupted my life, I couldn't perform my job properly, be mentally present when with those close to me and it put me to tears on a few occasions. I had only a few hours of respite each day. When I first came across Restored Minds, I didn't think I needed it. Shortly after, my OCD got worse so I decided to take action and get stuck in, and signed up to Restored Minds.
As soon as I signed up, Matt was with me from the first step, which gave a sense of comfort. As I got into the course, I immediately noticed how well it is presented, from explaining the fundamentals to even the soothing backdrop in Matt's videos.
The way the course unfolds couldn't be better, and gradually introduces you to the concepts, to understanding OCD and anxiety, and finally, taking steps to recovery. Nothing ever felt a step too far away.
Coming from where I was in early 2019 to starting recruit training with the Marines, I owe Matt (and MYSELF) a great deal of gratitude and pride, although I accept my journey of recovery is not yet finished, I can absolutely say I am now in a state of mind to live life on my terms and to its fullest value.
I have since left the Marines as I found through experience that it was not the career for me, and I'm now setting my sights to travel on my Harley to Australia.
Cheers to Matt, myself and Restored Minds!
