Lisa Low (Alliance Counselling and Assessment Services)
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, BA, M.Ed., RCC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic disorder where a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts and behaviors that they feel the urge to repeat over and over again. Engaging in these repetitive acts and thoughts is a way to reduce and manage a person’s anxiety. We will look at how to approach
situations that create obsessive thinking and emotional distress and how to resist acting on urges to engage in your compulsive behavior. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming compulsive urges.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) reveals a complex interplay between intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, and past relational experiences. Originating from the structure of attachment ties, OCD may appear as a coping strategy to reduce stress and restore control when faced with imagined dangers. Trauma, whether explicit or implicit, can exacerbate these symptoms, deepening the sense of distress and amplifying the need for ritualistic behaviours. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for exploration, providing a safe space to unpack the underlying attachment dynamics and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering self-compassion and addressing the root causes of distress, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of OCD, reclaiming agency over their thoughts and behaviours, and forging a path towards healing and resilience.
