Denisa Zitnansky Caceres
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
When you experience unwanted or intrusive thoughts that trigger anxiety, disgust, guilt or shame, you might be trying to distract yourself to avoid the thought, try to explore/analyze the thought, or do things to make the thought go away or at least quiet them down even if just for a moment. However, they just keep coming back. If unwanted thoughts are taking over your life, therapy can help you to work on reclaiming your mind and life.

OCD is a self taught coping strategy (ex. Only If I check the door 3 times, it’s closed). Understanding the root cause of the anxiety that’s fuelling the behaviour is transformative because it brings awareness to the situation.
