Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
OCD is a way of coping with deep anxiety and a need for control in a world that has felt unsafe. These patterns often develop early, when a sense of safety or emotional connection was missing, leading the mind to create order as a way to manage overwhelming internal experiences. In my work, we explore the underlying roots of these patterns with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment.

Joanna Szczeskiewicz
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) is characterized by presence of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are the unwanted intrusive thoughts and images that can include unwarranted concerns about a loved one dying in their sleep, disturbing vivid images of stabbing a person standing nearby, or worrying about having grabbed a used needle and injecting oneself with drugs without even being aware of having done so. Obsessions are all about uncertainty. Compulsions represent attempts at dealing with that uncertainty. Some compulsive behaviours appear to make at least some sense (e.g., being vigilant about wellbeing of others), while others don’t make any sense at all (e.g., counting to 100 each time a thought of potential harm comes to person’s mind). Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) protocol for OCD starts with building an inventory of obsessions and compulsions that the affected person engages in. This is followed by cognitive interventions that seek to understand and challenge the beliefs that underpin these symptoms. Many persons with OCD recognize the irrational nature of their thoughts and behaviours. So we use exposure response prevention (ERP) techniques that teach at a very visceral level that despite undeniable initial discomfort, letting go of one’s rituals does not lead to danger. It might not be the most comfortable treatment but, given its proven effectiveness, it’s worth the effort.

Every one of us has habits, but when some habit becomes disruptive and effects an individual’s smooth functioning in day-to-day life that can be challenging and if not treated at an early stage it can become a mental illness.

OCD
Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
I like to help clients let go of the need to control everything. Often the cost of preventing bad things from happening is greater than the cost of the bad things actually happening. I often use CBT to do structured work beginning with psychoeduction particularly around the causes of OCD and what is maintaining it. Then an examination of unhelpful thoughts specifically targeting the client's thoughts about the intrusive thoughts. Often followed by Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) where the client is aided in reducing compulsive behaviour.
