OCD can feel like being hijacked and make you feel like you are not in control. Identifying the beliefs that are driving the thoughts that create the OCD behaviour can be the first step in taking back control.

Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Living with OCD can feel exhausting- intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, and the constant need for control can take over daily life. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help you understand your patterns, reduce anxiety, and develop healthier ways to cope.
Using evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, we explore what’s driving the OCD cycle and work gently toward more freedom, emotional balance, and a restored sense of safety.

OCD is interesting in that it could have trauma based origins, physiological origins, including epigenetic, or could be an adaptive response to something that is currently challenging. First is to decipher where the origin is as best as one can, in general an integrative and functional approach may work well, as it could be based in metabolic deficiency, for example.
Shared with care: in certain cases, we have witnessed it might evolve in people or communities where power abuse is rampant -- these compulsions can set in as ways to adapt to holding maladaptive and abusive thinking and distracting a person from the inhumanity and incoherence of the abusive thinking they have been groomed to take on. This is not written about from a hegemonic perspective, however decolonizing theory will find these challenges of OCD and even paranoia heightened in people or communities that habituate enacting atrocities. This is not trauma it is an expression of intensive moral injury and benefits from interrupting the moral injury and moving the person into ethical recovery of their humanity.
Contrapositively, trauma impactees may show OCD traits as a way of the mind distracting from torture or other forms of recurring harm psychologically (e.g repeated and intensive gaslighting), physically, sexually...etc. Here we would apply a trauma based approach to care along with Havening, Brainspotting and other ways to soothe a nervous system and restore mental networks as best we can/

OCD
Jason Fletcher Hypnotherapy and Coaching
Hypnotherapist, FNCIP SQHP
OCD work focuses on understanding how intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and anxiety interact. I support people in developing a steadier relationship with their thoughts and reducing how controlling these patterns feel. The emphasis is on emotional regulation and safety rather than trying to eliminate thoughts.

Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city center. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community.
