Stop experiencing intense and insistent thoughts
Those struggling to manage OCD have two things in common, intrusive thoughts which become intense when anxious or worried and the desire to do something to alleviate those feelings. As a therapist, I help clients to reduce their arousal from negative emotions while encouraging them to notice what they have achieved despite the OCD. Then, when ready, we explore times when the OCD didn’t affect them- by acknowledging existing skills, clients are reminded of their capability to manage their thoughts and behaviours. OCD hypnotherapy is a gentle process compared to other therapies.
What is OCD?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is usually triggered when a person has faced a traumatic event. Their primitive mind takes over and creates an inappropriate coping strategy becoming the default response to future negative triggers. This can lead to the person experiencing intense and insistent thoughts which have a significant impact on their life. During OCD Hypnotherapy, we begin by tackling negative thoughts to have a greater sense of control of the compulsive actions.
The 4 main types of OCD are:
- Fear of contamination leading to cleaning
- Symmetry and ordering
- Concerns with unintentional harm and repeated checking (e.g locking doors)
- Hoarding
