Help for Obsessions and Compulsions (OCD) Using Hypnotherapy, Counselling, CBT or EMDR Online and In-Person in Hampshire
Help for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder & Compulsive Behaviour with Counselling and Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy or Counselling at OLIP Therapy are effective therapies for the symptoms of obsessions and compulsions or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
If someone is obsessive, they may be completely preoccupied with negative thoughts and find themselves repeatedly performing acts such as checking doors are locked, gas or electricity are switched off, taps are turned off, counting things or hand washing for example. The person with OCD feels compelled to carry out these actions for fear of something terrible happening if they don’t. Thoughts or actions can dominate the person’s mind to such an extent that it becomes impossible to live a normal life. Some sufferers have been known to repeatedly wash their hands so frequently that they cause skin problems such as bleeding yet still feel compelled to do it for fear of contamination.
Hypnotherapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Hampshire
Hypnotherapy can be a beneficial tool for managing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) by targeting subconscious thought patterns and reducing anxiety associated with obsessive thoughts and compulsions. It helps individuals gain greater control over their responses to intrusive thoughts.
Reduces Anxiety Triggers: Hypnotherapy promotes a relaxed state, allowing clients to access and reframe subconscious thoughts that trigger anxiety and compulsive behaviours, gradually reducing their emotional impact.
Interrupts Compulsive Behaviours: Through positive suggestions and visualisation techniques, hypnotherapy helps individuals learn to resist the urge to engage in compulsions, empowering them to manage their responses more effectively.
Builds Emotional Resilience: Hypnotherapy fosters self-confidence and emotional control, enabling individuals to feel more resilient against OCD triggers and less dependent on compulsive actions to relieve anxiety.
By addressing both subconscious beliefs and compulsive behaviours, hypnotherapy provides tools for reducing OCD symptoms, helping clients to regain a sense of control and enhance their daily well-being.
CBT for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Therapy can be a powerful tool for managing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) by addressing both the intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours associated with it. Through structured support, therapy helps individuals to reduce symptom severity and regain control over their lives.
Challenges Obsessive Thoughts: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), helps individuals confront their obsessive thoughts without engaging in compulsive behaviours, gradually reducing the anxiety linked to these thoughts.
Develops Healthy Coping Skills: Therapy provides tools for managing stress and anxiety, such as mindfulness and relaxation techniques, which help clients to handle distress without resorting to compulsive rituals.
Reframes Unhelpful Beliefs: Therapy works to alter the distorted beliefs fueling OCD, helping individuals understand that thoughts do not control their actions, thereby reducing the need for compulsions.
Through these approaches, therapy empowers individuals with OCD to manage their symptoms effectively, build resilience, and improve overall quality of life.
