OCD

Service Description

OCD is a condition which involves obsessive and compulsive thoughts or behaviours. It is when a person experiences obsessive/recurring thoughts and behaviours that are uncontrollable. These anxiety thoughts and behaviours are characterised by fear, worry or intrusive thoughts. The sufferer feels that by repeating certain behaviours their anxiety will get reduced. Unfortunately, it is a vicious cycle and the more it is repeated the more complicated and longer that ritual or behaviour can be. People with OCD may recognise that their compulsion is irrational but feel too out of control to stop. These behaviours can worsen during times of stress. The symptoms can include but are not limited to: Excessive cleaning, excessive checking, excessive hoarding, turning electrical switches on and off, aversion to numbers and rituals based on anxiety such as switching lights on/off, shutting and opening door etc. Anybody suffering from OCD, is dealing with unwanted thoughts and extreme anxiety. This will cause the sufferer to be in a constant cycle of negativity, which in turn will exasperate the anxiety and likewise the OCD. Luckily, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can greatly reduce the anxiety, which will in turn help the sufferer to live a much more positive life and have control over their situation and in a relatively short space of time. By explaining how the brain works in relationship to how you are feeling you will understand so much better why you are feeling and behaving the way you are. Booking an initial consultation will give you a great insight into what you are feeling and why and most importantly how hypnotherapy can get you feeling so much happier.
