What does it take to recover from OCD?
OCD is a medical condition that causes the sufferer to doubt. The doubt and need for certainty are the main drivers of OCD.
OCD makes you not trust yourself or your senses. You feel compelled to respond to the doubt by trying to get rid of the brain lock the anxiety or urges.
But it doesn’t work. In the short term you may feel some relief but not in the long term as doing compulsions to feel better is a trick of OCD. It keeps the cycle going.
You cannot out think OCD it will match your intelligence.
It keeps you hooked in with beliefs that become distorted.
It takes away peace by doing compulsions, it doesn’t bring you lasting peace.It wires the connection between danger and the theme further into your brain.
The first step is acceptance that your OCD symptoms are not you and caused by a medical condition.
Your brain can and will send you anything it wants too. But the key here is that you are being bluffed.
Trying to control and prevent an imagined fear based on thoughts, like but it may be possible.
or I read on the news etc etc.
or but it feels real. Your senses do not lie to you but OCD relies on your imagination not reality to bluff you. It’s the story that is scaring you not reality.
We can give you the tools the foundation of knowledge understanding and guide you to recovery.
You must be prepared to put in the work. It takes practice to respond differently to these dreadful symptoms. But you can do this!
We have recovered and so can you.

We’re excited to continue with our launch of new workshops here at The OCD Treatment Centre — designed to offer accessible, practical support on key topics relevant to OCD and related difficulties.

The first three workshop titles will be delivered as pilot sessions as part of our ongoing development process.

These online workshops are hosted and delivered by Christy Green, a qualified teaching professional and specialist in OCD. This will be held via the Google Meet platform.
