OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can impact people of all ages and circumstances. People with OCD experience intrusive and distressing thoughts, images, or urges. This often drives them to do things to try to prevent negative consequences or relieve the distress. People with OCD generally find these experiences extremely uncomfortable and/or disruptive, which is one of the things that differentiates OCD from, for example, helpful routines or pride in being detail oriented. Psychological treatment for OCD typically involves a type of CBT called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I love treating OCD because once people start start having a few wins it makes space for a whole lot of positive changes.
