OCD is a very complex disorder. This is because sufferers of OCD can struggle to articulate their thoughts and feelings around their urges and behaviour. Neurological changes are at work here and it takes an expert to understand the compelling urges and suffering it generates. Symptoms of the disorder can lead to depression, panic and high anxiety. Without specialist treatment the condition has the capacity to overwhelm the individual to the point of complete entrapment.
The good news is, although it’s a neurological disorder (affecting the nervous system of the brain) it is also a psychological condition that can be effectively treated with specialist psychological and behavioural therapy.
Our OCD therapy treatment creates a specialist intensive course which can be modified to suit the individual’s needs.

The first step to wellness is recognizing that there is something wrong and that you need help. However there are plenty of well-meaning therapists and counsellors who believe they know how to help and understand OCD. Before engaging in therapy I advise that you ask the therapist some fundament questions first.

Therapy for OCD is a very specialist area and should be taken seriously. You need to be able to trust your therapist and be prepared to step out of your comfort zone.
Obsessions are intrusive thoughts, worries, urges, ideas, feelings and images that give the sufferer a lot of angst and worry. They are persistent and recurring. The subject matter could be anything but generally it will be about what the sufferer cares about which has generated exaggerated worry.
Compulsions are the behaviors performed to eliminate the symptoms of the obsession. For example, if the sufferer is worried about losing control and causing harm to an individual, they will check their environment for potential danger, hide and avoid using potential objects that could cause harm. Ask for excessive reassurance that there fear will not come true. All this is performed to stop the obsession and the associated worry and anxiety.
This means confronting your fear and not responding in a compulsive, ritualistic manner. A skilled therapist to begin with is often required in this situation. Your therapist will teach you alternative cognitive skills and behavioral responses for you to be able to take up the challenge and respond in an appropriate non compulsive way.
