Tacit's main area of expertise is with clients who are wanting to address their Anxiety/Depression issues (and OCD Issues fall into this specialty area) - our team often teach classes focusing on ways to manage anxiety/depression effectively, and provide supports to family members who want to better understand how to help their loves ones who are struggling with these issues.
We will collaborate on the best treatment plan for you. I typically use a less traditional approach to CBT, in place of having you fill out a chart, I will ask you the questions. We can come up with exposure therapy that suits you.
Jasmine works with you to identify the specific patterns of thoughts and behaviors that characterize your OCD, and develop personalized strategies to help you cope and build resilience. Through evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we work together to gradually and safely confront your OCD triggers and reduce the compulsions that can consume your life.
OCD intrudes into a persons mind by bringing up the most obnoxious, scary or offensive thoughts possible then demands that you exhaust yourself to ensure it goes away, though it never seems to leave. While this can be very painful I love working with people to address their OCD because change can be so meaningful. The thoughts do not have to win and you can make changes to live a richer and fuller life.
Are you preoccupied with obsessive thoughts? Do these disturbing thoughts interfere with your work or social life? Do you engage in compulsions or rituals to try to reduce the distress associated with the thoughts?
At CareWay we offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and incorporate mindfulness, cognitive restructuring and acceptance practices in order to help you 'unhook' from the thoughts, change your focus of attention and engage in behaviours which are in line with your values and goals.
