What Is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a debilitating condition that can greatly reduce your quality of life.
Obsessions are intrusive thoughts that raise your anxiety.
Compulsions are behaviors or rituals performed to control the anxiety created by the obsessive thoughts.
When these two come together, a vicious cycle occurs that feeds on itself and can make your life miserable.
The therapists at Straight Up Treatment are extremely knowledgeable about OCD. We have worked with all types of OCD including:
Harm OCD
Contamination OCD
Scrupulosity OCD
Counting and Ordering OCD
Repeating and Sequencing
HOCD
Pure O
If you are suffering from one of the above, then Straight Up Treatment can help.
How Is OCD Treated?
Straight Up Treatment treats OCD with the only thing proven to work – namely Exposure and Response Prevention, or ERP.
In ERP, we gradually expose you to the thing you are afraid of, and then change your response to it. In time, this breaks the vicious cycle and to a decrease in obsessive thoughts.
Straight Up Treatment are expert practitioners of ERP, and have extensive experience working with both adults and children.
Our mission is to deliver individualized, patient-centered care driven by the belief that everyone can live authentic, meaningful, and resilient lives.
When Should I Seek Support?
OCD becomes problematic when it affects your life in a negative way, whether it be at work, at home, at school, or in your relationships.
If OCD is holding you back in some way and interfering with you achieving your goals, then you may want to get some help in how to manage it.
