The Pink Elephant Campaign
Have you ever had a therapist use the 'pink elephant' example?
If I tell you, "Don't think of a pink elephant"...What are you thinking of? A pink elephant?
Our soft, cuddly, 8" pink elephant plushie is the perfect reminder to let your thoughts in.
The story of the pink elephant example is on the tag, so you or your loved one can remember what you're working towards. And it's not only yourself who benefits.
For each one sold, we donate one to a child in residential OCD treatment.
Our beloved donated elephants go to Rogers Behavioral Health OCD Child Center and McLean OCDI Jr.
Our program is entering our FOURTH YEAR, will you help us keep it going?
We are 12% of the way there for 2024. We can't do this without you!

Our Story
Media
My name is Elise, and I have had OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) since I was at least 6 years old. Through my lived experience, and a lot of free time from a pandemic the ocdopus™ was born.
I started this shop because OCD is terribly misunderstood, because people use it for punch lines on merchandise, and because the world does not put out products that reflect what we learn in OCD therapy. I wanted to show those with OCD that they are not alone, and that those who do not know about OCD are able to learn about it.
The OCD community is overflowing with wonderful people. I am honored to have the opportunity to get involved and give back in this way.
Sincerely,
Elise Petronzio
