OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) can feel extremely distressing. It involves unwanted and persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) to try and reduce  the anxiety associated with the thoughts.

Dealing with OCD

OCD can feel like you’re trapped in your own mind, stuck with the unwanted, intrusive thoughts and rituals. This can cause intense anxiety and feel like your own brain is working against you. OCD is often misunderstood and many people don’t realize they struggle with it. The rituals people engage in often aren’t the typical ones people think of like obsessive hand washing or checking locks. Instead this can involve mental rituals aimed at reducing distress, causing a cycle of intrusive thoughts.

  • Intrusive Thoughts

OCD Therapy in Draper, UT

We are here to help support you and reduce your distress and symptoms associated with OCD. We do this through a variety of ways.

ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is one of the most effective and researched ways of treating OCD. It works by exposing people to the situations or triggers that activate their obsessive thoughts while helping them to resist the compulsions. This helps to rewire the brain’s response to the triggers, and decrease the overall anxiety associated with the obsessive thoughts. ERP is known to significantly reduce symptoms and distress for the long term.

We help people to embrace the anxiety and uncertainty associated with the OCD symptoms and overall reduce the compulsions. We also help people with other coping skills to overall enhance their quality of life and experience more peace. Reach out today and we will help you reduce your distress and find a more meaningful life.
