OCD
It’s not uncommon to have thoughts that are distressing from time to time. However, for those with OCD, these intrusive thoughts can be a constant struggle that leads to high levels of stress and anxiety – which is not easy to deal with on a daily basis. In order to find some relief, people with OCD may resort to compulsions that provide temporary relief but ultimately trap them in an endless cycle.
Obsessions and compulsions can manifest in many different forms. From fears of harming oneself or others to fears of contamination, performing rituals such as washing hands, checking and rechecking things, and seeking constant reassurance, the repetitive nature of these compulsions can take up a lot of time and cause people to avoid certain situations. This can lead to problems with careers, social lives, and relationships.
It’s important to understand that OCD is not simply a desire for tidiness or a tendency to wash one’s hands frequently. It’s a persistent and debilitating condition that can be triggered by trauma, stress, or anxiety. Many people with OCD feel compelled to complete their compulsions or rituals and may even experience guilt, anxiety, or fear that something terrible will happen if they don’t. Fortunately, there are natural and gentle ways to break the cycle of OCD. Solution focused hypnotherapy is a great example of a gentle and natural way to help reduce anxiety and promote positive thoughts and behaviours.
