OCD

Psychologist, M.C., Registered Psychologist
OCD is a complex disorder that is often misconstrued in our popular culture. It encompasses a lot more than just orderliness and compulsive handwashing. Individuals with this disorder experience distressing obsessions and/or compulsions that are usually categorized thematically. These themes include (but are not limited to) fear of contamination, fear of acting aggressively, fear of something terrible happening or fear of becoming ill. OCD can be all-encompassing and can make it hard to get through the day. In our work together, we’ll explore how OCD shows up for you, what it tries to tell you, and how to tackle it head-on.

OCD is actually your way of coping with anxiety. You might not have knowingly chosen to become obsessive with your thoughts and compulsive in your actions. But your body is convinced doing the excessive acts will somehow make you less stressed. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Let me teach you new ways to cope with anxiety so that you can start changing how much time and energy your thoughts and behaviours are robbing from you.

OCD

Daniel Klassen

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147)
Having Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be incredibly distressing. It involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing anxiety. These compulsions provide temporary relief but create a cycle of distressing obsessing thoughts and compulsive behaviors. The constant fear of something terrible happening if rituals are not performed can be paralyzing. Despite recognizing that these obsessions and compulsions are irrational and disruptive, individuals with OCD often feel powerless to stop them. Therapy, such as Narrative Therapy (NT), is used to explore their experiences, while lifestyle changes and mindfulness techniques can help manage symptoms. Internal Family Systems may also be employed to identify and address the roots of these behaviors. Each person's journey with OCD is unique, but an integrative and evidence-based approach can lead to a significant reduction or elimination of symptoms.

OCD is an anxiety disorder that dominate the mind with obsessive thoughts and is often followed by compulsive behaviors.
