Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Treatments

What Are Obsessions and Compulsions?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder that affects people of all ages. 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 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.

How Can Neurofeedback Help?

Individuals with OCD are especially prone to overthinking or repetitive thinking that results in a looping pattern in brain wave functioning (hyper coherence). Neurofeedback reduces these overactive brain waves to help retrain the brain and therefore reduce obsessions and compulsions.

How Can Advanced Bio-Regulation (BRT) Help?

PEMF and Biofeedback are designed to help the Central Nervous System (CNS) to calm down. Physiologically, the body is programmed to deal with stress first and healing second, so when we get the CNS to calm down, it promotes an environment where the body can heal itself, improve sleep, reduce anxiety and obsessions and compulsions, as well as increase feelings of well-being.

How Can Counseling Help?

We marry neuroscience with clinically proven and effective, holistic therapies. OCD is a difficult behavior to address and therefore requires a high level of expertise. We combine traditional talk therapy with effective techniques that directly impact the subconscious, such as EFT/Tapping, hypnosis, somatic therapy, play therapy, art therapy, etc., as well as the use of direct exposure therapy.
