What Is OCD?
OCD is an anxiety disorder characterized by obsessions (unwanted, distressing thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or rituals used to reduce anxiety). It often includes:
🔹 Intrusive thoughts – Unwanted fears, worries, or images that won’t go away
🔹 Compulsions & rituals – Checking, counting, cleaning, or repeating actions to feel “safe”
🔹 Fear of uncertainty – Feeling the need for control or reassurance to avoid distress
🔹 Time-consuming behaviors – Daily routines disrupted by rituals and obsessive thinking
OCD is not about being overly organized or a “neat freak”—it’s a condition that can cause distress, disrupt relationships, and impact daily life. But with the right support, you can break free from OCD’s hold.
How Therapy Can Help With OCD
OCD therapy helps you learn how to manage thoughts and reduce compulsions so you can regain control of your life. Through therapy, you will:
🔹 Understand your triggers and how OCD impacts your thoughts and behaviors
🔹 Learn to challenge obsessive thoughts rather than give in to compulsions
🔹 Develop coping strategies to manage anxiety without relying on rituals
🔹 Gain confidence in facing uncertainty and reducing OCD’s impact on daily life
OCD doesn’t have to control you—you can take back your power and live with more freedom and peace.
