obsessive compulsive disorder

It is a strange thing to say - but few of us have total control over our thoughts. A moment's reflection and we can all think of some occasion when a mental image has just popped into our head without warning. When you consider how common it is for people with anxiety or depression to lose control of their negative thoughts it is unsurprising that there might be other kinds of thought that might go out of control.

Similarly, many of us have our little rituals often for the good reason that routine helps to prevent forgetfulness. But sometimes the rituals will take on a life of their own - always locking doors in a certain order, or serving food in a certain way. For some people this can get out of hand and their lives are ruled by constant worry over small things and the need to perform endless rituals.

Compulsions are often the actions resulting from the obsession, and one of the few ways that the person can deal the thoughts. Failure to complete the compulsion often results in severe anxiety or panic - but continuing to try to live with the rituals often leads to depression. The kind of compulsion that people experience are:

  • Rituals - doing things in a certain order or a set number of times
  • Cleaning
  • Checking tasks that have already been completed
  • Needing cutlery or furniture etc to be arranged in a certain way
  • Clinical hypnotherapy can successfully treat this disorder and is structured around a two stage procedure to eliminate this problem rapidly and effectively embracing disassociation and deconditioning therapy.
