Subconscious Mind Healing Therapy: Dealing with OCD

OCD or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a disease marked by compulsive behaviors and obsessive thoughts that disrupt daily life. While the symptoms usually appear during childhood, the disease can affect anyone and develop at any time. OCD is intrusive and negatively impacts the quality of life.

Getting early help is key to keeping the symptoms under control. While there are a number of treatments out there; in this blog, we’ll be discussing the effectiveness of subconscious mind healing therapy with regards to treating OCD.

What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

Before we delve into the condition, let’s take a look at how OCD affects people. While the condition can disrupt people’s lives in various ways, here are a few common behaviors:

• Obsession: This is when unwanted urges or thoughts repeatedly enter the mind. It’s marked by distressing behaviors such as checking whether the tap is closed multiple times—sometimes for hours on end—and fearing unlikely scenarios in case the person doesn’t act on his or her impulses.
• Anxiety: Distressing and intrusive thoughts increase feelings of anxiety and stress.
• Compulsion:Constant unrest is followed by a strong urge to carry out pointless actions such as repeatedly washing the hands or scrubbing the floor.
• Relief:Carrying out such actions provide temporary relief and help to quell the feelings of anxiety and stress. However, these soon return and the cycle repeats itself.

Subconscious Mind Healing for OCD

For many people, hypnotherapy has proven to be help deal with OCD—whether it’s for reducing anxiety and stress or overcoming the symptoms. A study published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis revealed how positive suggestion and relaxation techniques improved the condition of OCD patients.

If you’ve done your research and are about to visit a hypnotherapist while simultaneously undergoing psychological treatments, it’s important to mention them to both the psychotherapist and hypnotherapist.

By doing so, you’ll be getting the best out of both treatments and will ensure that there’s no overlapping or conflicting content. Hypnotherapy deals with the unconscious mind, the part of our being that can’t be influenced normally. As such, the hypnotherapist puts the person in a relaxed state of mind which increases the effectiveness of suggestive techniques. The therapy seeks to bring a change within thinking patterns and aims at bringing back control to reduce the symptoms of OCD as well as the mental stress that follows.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder should be treated immediately as the condition can hamper routine activities and negatively affect a person’s life.
