OCD
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
OCD can be debilitating due to having unwanted, recurring thoughts that cause people to engage in frequent, repetitive behaviours in order to relieve anxiety. People with OCD often feel overwhelmed due to needing things a certain way with leaving little to no room for flexibility. Rigidity takes over, which can create feelings of sadness and helplessness. The therapy models that I use for OCD are primarily Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The CBT model involves challenging unwanted thoughts that may be exacerbating the OCD. Once clients identify the thoughts that are linked to the unwanted behaviours, they learn to have more choice over how they would like to respond to those thoughts. Gaining control over the unwanted thoughts is a powerful step in the healing process, as clients feel empowered to make independent choices that are in line with their values. Values-oriented work is largely derived from the ACT model. As we explore values, clients gain a deep understanding of the type of life they would like to live. They explore what makes life rich and meaningful and what changes need to happen in order to reach their full potential.

OCD
Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, RPC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
People exhibiting symptoms of OCD often appear anxious and engage in repetitive behaviors such as checking, counting, ordering, and rearranging things in search of reassurance. Many have experienced these symptoms during stressful periods in their lives. The stress of initiating therapy may exacerbate these anxious behaviors. However, once a trusting connection is established, comfort levels rise, allowing for modeling healthy coping mechanisms within a supportive environment. The focus will center on the underlying trauma below it

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.
