If you rely on repetitive rituals to negate or moderate external influences, you will be only too aware of the habitual nature that has taken control of you. Logically you know the performance of repetitive rituals doesn't alter external circumstance. But that message often doesn't get to the emotional brain. I can help you reassess these by starting with the more minor examples and gradually developing increased confidence to reassess the influence of these rituals to the point where they can be dispensed with -- leaving you with empowered perspectives.
Getting you back to good…
In everyday life, we all suffer from anxieties or concerns that may limit our happiness. Therapy involves coming to terms, and understanding reasons you may be unhappy or struggling with things. You deserve to live the life you want, to feel good.
I utilize Exposure Response Prevention therapy for the treatment of OCD. This therapy is highly effective and does require some challenging work (exposures). I like to meet you where you are and come up with creative, even humorous ways to challenge your OCD. OCD is one of my top specialties and I am very confident in my ability to treat OCD with ERP.
Being able to live with OCD can be very challenging, and it's not always easy to cope with. As a psychotherapist, I'm dedicated to helping individuals with this condition manage their symptoms. Through a combination of evidence-based treatments and psychological therapy, I'll help them feel more comfortable and control their thoughts and behaviours.
