We all strive for perfection, but for some of us perfection becomes an end in itself. When our thinking overtakes our ability to act we cannot function. Fortunately there are clear pathways to solving this extremely difficult dilemma.
OCD is a complex, overwhelming condition but there are proven techniques to help reset your brain and thought patterns to let go of those compulsions because continuing to give in to them only pulls you deeper down. I can provide and understanding, supportive environment for you to tentatively take the steps to challenging those obsessions and compulsions once and for all.
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.
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.
