Overcome Your OCD with Online Therapy
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.

"Everyone goes through their own unique journey. I certainly have. For the longest time, it felt unfair and I had a lot of rage. I had a lot of anxiety and a lot of pain. Therapy helped me realize I can't control what happens but I can control how I react to events. It taught me that I am not my thoughts - I am the detached, calm, and silent observer observing those thoughts and emotions. Karen Coupe helped me a lot and I am grateful."

"I have loved my experience on this platform. I was in a very dark place when I signed up. I was in a deep depression and I couldn't see a way out. I knew I needed to seek out help and this program pulled me out of my despair. I need to temporarily end my subscription while I get my finances in order but when I do so, I plan to return and finish the program. This has been so life changing! I plan to apply what I have learned and return even stronger than I am today. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work through my inner turmoil and find inner peace."

"I'm working through some issues. Going at my own pace and when convenient to me is really enabling me to make sense of things. My therapist is supportive and responds in a timely manner, whilst also allowing me to process their advice and the course work at my leisure. Very positive experience so far. Thanks."
