Justin K. Hughes, Licensed Professional Counselor

Helping break stuck patterns. CBT & Exposure Therapy Specialist in OCD/Anxiety. My social media ac I’m passionate about working with clients who are willing to work hard on areas of life that just aren’t working.

Specialized in OCD and Anxiety, through CBT and Exposure Therapy, I have years of focused training, education, experience, and positive outcomes in these deeply demanding domains. I am uniquely equipped to dig into solutions when there is great confusion about what to do. A strong framework has been developed to be a “Specialized Generalist” in addition to my main areas of focus. What this means

Sensitive therapists will incorporate your faith concerns ethically into therapy. You might have to ask some good upfront questions to determine if they are a good fit for you!

~15% failure rate may be optimal for learning a new task. What?! Yep! How might this translate to doing exposures?

@hubermanlab hubermanlab.com: "Provided they don’t comprise safety, errors during learning are terrific because they increase activation of the neural circuits that increase alertness. It makes sense, right? If you perform something correctly, why should your brain take notice? When we make errors, it feels “stressful,” but that is just an increase in attention that puts us in a much better place to perform and execute learning-related behaviors the next trial—meaning on the next attempt. Computational modeling data suggests that an error rate of ~15% may be optimal and can help determine how difficult we should make a task. But don’t worry too much about those specifics. Instead, keep doing repetitions and when you mess up, capitalize on it by doing another attempt (and another) while your forebrain is in that maximally attentive state."

OCD can latch onto anything, including holding the sufferer hostage to its compulsions. Break free! Don't fall for the trick!

While church may provide plenty of triggers if you have OCD, for healthy churches, you have the opportunity to get two things: 1) opportunities to do really good exposure work and 2) you can grow closer to God! These aren't mutually exclusive.

OCD centers on faith often, but it is not a problem of faith in and of itself. HOWEVER, you can still growth your faith by treating the disorder!
