Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterised by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions) that can disrupt daily life. Recognising these symptoms and seeking help from a qualified Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist is a crucial first step towards managing the condition.
Treatment involves educating clients about OCD and helping them reduce stress while focusing on desired outcomes and manageable steps.
We support the client to move attention and focus away from the symptoms instead engaging the part of the brain responsible for self control, problem solving and emotional regulation.
Hypnotherapy offers valuable support for those dealing with OCD. This approach targets thesubconscious mind to address deeply ingrained patterns and beliefs. Through guided relaxation and suggestion techniques, hypnotherapy promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety and facilitates positive behavioural changes.
These sessions help individuals reframe obsessive thoughts, to think positively and develop healthier coping mechanisms, creating new neural pathways that encourage a new way of thinking.
