Most of us have, at some time, felt uncertain about leaving the iron or the stove on and some have even gone home to check. This type of behavior is just normal and doesn't cause any damage or harm in one's life. However, if you have intrusive "what if" thoughts, and your need to perform these behaviors on a regular basis and they interfere with your daily life, then you might be suffering from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

OCD is a condition marked by irrational beliefs (obsessions) and rituals (compulsions). The obsessions are recurrent, unwanted thoughts that are difficult or impossible for you to ignore and cause you anxiety. By performing repetitive, ritualized compulsions, you (temporarily) ease your anxiety. It may, for example, be that you often wash your hands very thoroughly, or check all the locks in your home. You may feel like you "have" to do these rituals. These thoughts and behaviors most likely take up a lot of your time and energy, causing you significant stress which can cause tension in your relationships and other aspects of your life.

Luckily there is hope, even if you have tried to stop your compulsions before and it has not been as successful as you would like. Our therapy for OCD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT and your therapist, you will identify what triggers your OCD. You will learn how to face your obsessions and find ways to refrain from ritualizing. Eventually you will be able to face these triggers without the need to perform your normal rituals (like washing your hands several times in a row or checking the lights numerous times). You will discover how to replace these negative thoughts with more realistic ones. Eventually you will be in charge of the thoughts and behaviors that previously have been fueling your OCD, so that you can live life free from obsessions and compulsions.

"I wasn't sure what to expect when I started therapy on this platform but I have been so pleasantly surprised with the quality of the therapist as well as the additional materials available. The pricing is amazing too, about half of what it would cost me locally."

"Cynthia has really helped me to be more open with my emotions, have increased self awareness and greater ability to communicate with others even in times of difficulty or discomfort. To really sit with my emotions at times and realise when I'm suppressing and hindering my progress to feel whatever it is at that moment. I have a lot to work on but I know I have already made a lot of progress."

"I've only just started with the standard plan and I'm already seeing massive value, it's well worth it and I'll be continuing for some time I think! The text messaging is a really useful feature (although the functionality could be slightly improved to make it easier to remain in the messaging section). Overall though it's great and my therapist is awesome."
