Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

This is an anxiety disorder characterised by the following:
Persistent recurrent thoughts, images, ideas, feelings and repetitive behaviours. Patients try to resist the behaviours and this produces increasing anxiety that is only relieved by giving in to the compulsion.
The obsessional thoughts and/or compulsions are time consuming and disruptive to the person’s life.
Some of the behaviours are checking, washing, repeating and ordering. For example, checking and rechecking a door is locked can take hours and make sufferers late for everything! Ordering involves arranging things in a specific way to a perceived set of rules. Patients can experience severe distress with OCD and it often starts when they are over loaded generally.
Therapy once diagnosis has been made by a doctor usually involves prescribed medication and therapy interventions. Clinical Hypnosis can also help you take back control.
If you need help with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, please contact me for an initial consultation.

If you know of anyone struggling with their mental health or you are struggling yourself, please seek help. Sometimes all that’s needed is for someone to listen. This can help pave the way for a positive change. There are options available: Talking therapies, Medication and also Complementary therapies.
As a Complementary Therapist I use Clinical Hypnotherapy and Reflexology to help patients to help themselves, I encourage self hypnosis practice (once taught), gardening, getting into nature and exercise, cookery and crafts and yoga. All these activities help with resetting the mind and also very often you can make new connections and friendhips.
There should be no stigma attached to asking for help with a mental health issue. Talking and raising awareness will help as will a plan to go forward.

Autumn is upon us and for some it means bright colours as the seasons change and a relief from the heat of the summer. For others though, the shorter days and longer nights can be the beginning of Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD as it more often known. Symptoms of low mood can be mild but also in some, can be difficult to manage.
If you are struggling to manage your thoughts and feelings during this period, therapy can help alongside taking advantage of the brighter days, getting outside, eating healthily and exercising regularly.
