Breaking Free from the Grip of OCD

OCD
If you are experiencing the same thoughts over and over and performing compulsive repetitive activities, this may indicate you are suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. It can affect all aspects of your life, work, home and friendships.
You are not alone. We live in a stressful world and OCD can be our primitive brains way of keeping control. Habits and responses are learned and evolve over time. Our rituals may have become associated, with keeping us or our loved ones safe. Our primitive brain has taken over, to some extent, from our intellectual one and may have too much control. It is constantly looking out for danger. Our protection response has become obsessive and compulsive.
Habits and responses are learned over time. They can be changed and new ones can be learned to replace old unhelpful ones. Solution focused hypnotherapy can access your subconscious and can help lower stress levels to bring calmness and control back into your life.
