At the root of Obsessive Compulsion Disorder (OCD) is an obsession with something. Sufferers of OCD will experience interfering and unwanted thoughts which then generate worry or fear. Repetitive behaviours (compulsions) are used to deal with the accompanying anxiety. These can often take place in the form of rituals.
An example is an obsession with germs. A person with OCD might find that they obsessively think about and fear contamination, maybe with people, places, objects, surfaces etc. The associated compulsions could be excessive cleaning or washing of hands with the outcome from these behaviours resulting in damaged or raw skin and even skin problems like dermatitis etc.
For people with OCD these compulsions do not provide any pleasure – but a sense of relief. OCD habits can be emotionally draining, extremely time consuming and can affect relationships, careers and your ability to relax and get on with life. If you want to overcome OCD then Cognitive Hypnotherapy in London could be just what you’re looking for today.
