Getting Beyond the Need for Constant Need for Reassurance for Absolute Certainty
Reassurance Seeking works, or does it?
How much I would like to reassure you that everything is going to be ok…..but in the end of the day what will be different in your life?
You will be dependent on me assuring you! We have stronger evidence based treatment tools than that called Exposure Response Prevention/ ERP!
The How of OCD Therapy – ERP
Beyond Traditional Talk Therapy
A Dedicated Practice to Getting Through this Scary Place to Other Side
Do you ever wonder if you or someone you love has OCD traits or tendencies?
Exposure Therapy (ERP) shows you the exact ways stand up to OCD-this pessimistic shape-shifter, rumination and negative thoughts so you can ultimately put the bossy rascal called OCD back in its place.
Here are some Interpersonal dynamics that might emerge when someone has OCD:
Do you look for absolute certainty, and often look to people you are close to for reassurance, but do not feel satisfied once you get it?
Do you always insist people agree with you, and need to feel just right, or else….
Do you find yourself in a relationship with someone who struggles with indecision, ambivalence and inability to commit to you?
Are you unable to concentrate on the present and are often distracted by disruptive thoughts and rumination, and increasing resentment?
Do you feel these thoughts affect many of your friendships in a negative way?
Do you find yourself repeating rituals that don’t truly serve you, such as endlessly counting, excessive tidying up, or hand washing (fear of contamination) or checking locks and doorknobs are secure for safety?
