What Are Obsessions and Compulsions?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder that affects kids and teens everywhere. OCD is characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead to compulsive behaviors. Compulsions are behaviors an individual engages in to attempt to get rid of the obsessions and/or decrease his or her distress. Most people have obsessive thoughts and/or compulsive behaviors at some point in their lives, but that does not mean that they have OCD. In order to be diagnosed with OCD, it must interfere with one’s daily functioning.

Signs of OCD

Common compulsions in OCD are washing and cleaning, checking, repeating, intense fear or worrisome thoughts, and mentally obsessing over certain items or actions. Specifically, washing hands excessively, excessively showering, bathing, tooth-brushing, grooming, or toilet routines, and cleaning household items or other objects excessively are frequently seen compulsions. Frequent questioning, need for constant reassurance, looping thoughts, or constant worries that create intense anxiety are indicative of obsessive thinking.

How Can Neurofeedback Help?

Individuals with Speech and Language Disorders often display low brain wave functionality in the areas of the brain associated with language or along the motor cortex. Neurofeedback changes the brain waves ratios to healthier, more regulated functioning, and therefore improves communication, speech, and language.

How Can Advanced Bio-Regulation (BRT) Help?

PEMF and Biofeedback are designed to help the Central Nervous System (CNS) to calm down and promotes an environment where the body can heal itself. Those with Speech and Language Disorders often have underlying or co-occurring medical conditions that can benefit from the healing properties of BRT.

How Can Biofeedback Help?

Biofeedback is designed to help the sympathetic and parasympathetic self-regulate resulting in the Central Nervous System (CNS) calming down, allowing one to more readily engage. For those with Speech and Language Disorders, their CNS is often dysregulated. Biofeedback uses subtle changes in the body to consciously register mindful acts leading to self-regulation, which results in improved communication, focusing and relaxing.
