Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - OCD - is a label give to people who repeat patterns of thinking, therefore feeling therefore behaviour.

There are many 'versions' of OCD that we can help you recover from

OCD ranges from someone repeatedly checking that the taps have been turned off, the gas is turned off, or there is 'nothing under the bed', to someone who repeatedly washes their hands until they are red-raw and bleeding because they are afraid of contamination, or disease.

There is also an OCD category of 'obsessive thoughts', where a person cannot seem to get the 'bad' thoughts out of their mind.

Then there are those who obsessively engage in some physical activity, such as picking at their face

Other types of 'OCD behaviour' are covered elsewhere in this website...

BDD - Body Dysmorphic Disfunction

Hair Pulling - Trichotillomania

Obsessive Thoughts

Basically, we work to help stop OCD and help you to make your imagination your friend, rather than something that causes you problems.

Learn to control your imagination, rather than being controlled by your imagination

Also, with these cases, it is often useful to install a strategy of thinking that allows you to easily make a determination between what is real (i.e. the taps have been turned off) and the imaginary pictures in the mind (the taps haven't been turned off, there might be a flood etc).

This is done both consciously by literally showing you 'how' to think differently, and unconsciously, by re-patterning the thought/feeling process at a deep level.

In our experience help can be given to all patterns of OCD.
