Introducing the Star of Our Practice
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is often referred as the “doubt disorder.” The doubt we are talking about here is a behavioral trait which is followed by a lack of confidence in one’s own memory, attention, perception, or self-necessary to reach a decision. When you don’t trust yourself or your memories, it leads to a strong urge to check or repeat things to take away the discomfort.
Take the first step towards confronting your intolerance of doubt and uncertainty.
Our treatment program is individualized for each client. While OCD subtypes share common sets of obsessions and compulsions, your OCD therapist will train you with the skills and techniques to tolerate uncomfortable triggers and ultimately drop the disorder.
Obsessive compulsive disorder is when you have unwanted thoughts, images, doubt, and/or urges that enter the mind (obsessions) which lead to repetitive and ritualistic behaviors that can be physical or mental (compulsions). Both obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily functioning and cause significant distress.
While OCD is often depicted on television by someone who may frequently wash their hands or check things a specific number of times, there are many subtypes of OCD that present differently. OCD sneaks up in different ways and pulls at your vulnerabilities.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder does not respond logic even though people suffering with the disorder often know their behaviors are irrational. The fear of uncertainty is loud and that weakens logic. This is why traditional talk therapy doesn’t always work for OCD. One thing we can say for certain is that there is no certainty with anything in life.
The good news is that you can learn to live with uncertainty, getting there is uncomfortable but it’s survivable. Our team is committed to helping you drop the “D” in OCD which is responsible for daily distress and difficulty functioning. YOU CAN DO THIS -- and have some fun in the process!
