Hypnotherapy and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) therapy – using hypnotherapy to break the cycle and control your OCD
Hypnotherapy and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) treatment - using hypnotherapy to break the cycle and control your OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Order (OCD) explained
Many of us have certain habits, but when a habit turns into an act that you can’t control and affects your everyday life, it can be a problem. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours they cannot, or find difficult, to control.
It can affect everyone; men, women and children. For some, symptoms can start as early as puberty but generally symptoms start during early adulthood.

What do we mean by ‘obsessive’ and ‘compulsive’?
An obsession is an unwanted and unpleasant thought, image or urge that repeatedly enters your mind, causing feelings of anxiety, disgust or unease.
A compulsion is a repetitive behaviour or mental act that you feel you need to do to temporarily relieve the unpleasant feelings brought on by the obsessive thought.
OCD presents itself through a variety of symptoms, behaviours and habits. Symptoms can be visible or invisible through thoughts. Behaviours can be conscious and unconscious, obsessive and compulsive with continuous repetition.
OCD is upsetting for the individual and often people are not sure where to turn for help or even that a counsellor or a psychotherapist can help. Sufferers experience a range of problems depending on the individual and the disorder or disorders. The disorder may be linked to other problems too. We can help.
These obsessive and compulsive behaviours also include habits such as nail-biting, hair-pulling, thumb-sucking or scratching. Habits can be controlled, but they can also become addictions or obsessive compulsive disorders.
Using hypnotherapy for OCD
We know that ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ and that each of our clients is different with their own set of unique needs and circumstances. We use a combination of therapies for anger management, one of the primary treatments is hypnotherapy.
What is hypnotherapy?
We actually experience hypnosis all the time naturally. Daydreaming is a form of hypnosis, for example. Similarly, when we arrive at a destination in our car without being aware of how we got there. That’s a form of hypnosis too. We drift in and out of the state all the time.
All we really do with this form of treatment is harness that state to create a form of deep relaxation that enables us to access parts of the brain that are blocked by conscious thought.
By altering your state of consciousness, through the use of hypnosis and positive suggestion, we can help you to change aspects of yourself – for example your behaviour or your feelings.

How OCD hypnosis therapy can help
Hypnotherapy can have a positive effect for people who are struggling to keep control of their emotions and behaviours. Through hypnosis we can teach you simple alternatives of how to express yourself so that you can strengthen relationships rather than damage them.
Changing your behaviour will change how you feel about yourself and how you interact with those closest to you, and the world in general. You’ll learn to express your feelings and needs positively, regain your life and start to transform the most important relationships in your life.
How does a hypnotherapy session work?
During your first session of hypnotherapy, the clinical hypnotherapist will ask you specific questions about your lifestyle and overall health in order for you both to decide on what your goals will be during the therapy.
While under hypnosis, a patient will exhibit enhanced awareness and responsiveness, which allows the hypnotherapist to bypass the rational part of the brain to the more receptive subconscious and introduce new, positive thoughts and perspectives. You will also be more open to suggestion so that together we can help you change behaviour.
“There is often a totally understandable apprehension around hypnotherapy. The first thing we always say to our clients is to try and forget what you might have seen passing as hypnosis or hypnotherapy on-stage or on-screen, as most of it is ridiculous. In actual fact we all experience light stages of hypnosis all the time in our daily lives.”
