OCD. AKA “the doubting disorder.”
Life with OCD is a life full of obsessional doubts. They might sound like:
“What if I didn’t lock the door?”
“What if I did something hurtful?”
“What if I could hurt a child?”
“What if there are germs on my hands?”
“What if I can’t stop noticing my breathing?”
“What if I don’t love my partner?”
“What if I commit a horrible sin?”
You care deeply about your values, morals, and people your love. You have high standards for yourself, and you’ll do whatever it takes to protect what is most important.
But those “whatever it takes” (compulsions) have taken over your life and somehow actually done the opposite of protecting what’s most important: they’ve drawn you away from it.
What if you could resolve the doubt? What if you could regain the certainty you had before the doubt crept in? What if you could restore trust in your senses and in yourself, in order to do the things you want to be doing?
There are multiple ways to treat OCD. We’ll find the one that’s right for you.
I am trained in three effective approaches for treating OCD:
–Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Breaking the cycle of compulsions that maintains OCD
–Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT)
Learning to trust yourself & question your doubt
–Rumination-Focused ERP (RF-ERP)
Empowering you to control your thoughts again
There’s a path forward that’s right for you. And together, we can find it.
