Compassionate Support with OCD Recovery Specialists
It is possible your counsellor may recommend cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques, such as exposure and response prevention (ERP). During sessions, the therapist and the client work together in order to identify and understand the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that contribute to OCD.
The therapist will then help the client to gradually expose themselves to the feared object or situation, while preventing the compulsions. This can help to lessen the power of the obsessions and reduce any distress caused by them. The therapist may also help the individual to develop alternative ways of thinking about their obsessions and practice relaxation techniques in order to help manage their anxiety.
Counselling can also help individuals with OCD to develop a better understanding of their condition and to learn how to manage and cope with it more effectively, thus improving their quality of life.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with OCD, know that effective, evidence-based support is available and recovery is possible. Counselling, combined with techniques like CBT, Hypnotherapy and ERP, can help you break free from the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, and regain control over your life.
