What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). People with OCD may feel stuck in a cycle of distress and temporary relief. They do certain actions to ease the anxiety caused by their obsessions. Understanding the nature and impact of OCD is the first step towards reclaiming a life of freedom and fulfillment. OCD is not a rare condition.

For most individuals who live with OCD, the symptoms begin in the teen or young adult years. However, in some cases, an individual can start experiencing these symptoms during their childhood. Furthermore, stress can cause someone's urges and actions to vary and intensify. OCD manifests through a variety of signs and symptoms, some of the most common include:

  • Doubts about having completed routine tasks (e.g., locking the door, turning off the stove, excessive hand washing, and cleaning rituals)
  • Excessive double-checking of things (also known as compulsive checking)
  • Intrusive and often distressing thoughts or images
  • A need for order and symmetry
  • Fear of contamination or germs
  • OCD Counting, tapping, repeating words, or other rituals to reduce anxiety
  • Avoidance of situations that can trigger obsessions

At our OCD treatment center, we provide a comprehensive counseling to managing and overcoming OCD, helping individuals regain control over their lives. Our Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are designed to address these symptoms head-on, using evidence-based therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals manage and overcome their OCD.

THE REALITY OF OCD THOUGHTS

It's a common query - are OCD thoughts real? While the thoughts or fears may not reflect real dangers, they feel incredibly real and urgent to the individual. Our therapeutic approach helps individuals differentiate between OCD-driven thoughts and reality, empowering them to manage their symptoms better.

At Innerspace Counseling in New Jersey, our goal is to help you understand your behaviors and compulsions more deeply so that you can start to manage them on your own.

Through these programs, you will attend individual therapy, group therapy, family sessions, and receive medication management as needed and outlined in your personal treatment plan.

OCD Intrusive Thoughts vs. Impulsive Thoughts.png

UNDERSTANDING INTRUSIVE VS. IMPULSIVE THOUGHTS

In the realm of OCD, distinguishing between intrusive and impulsive thoughts is crucial. Intrusive thoughts are unwanted and often distressing thoughts or images that cause significant anxiety. While impulsive thoughts can lead to spontaneous actions without thinking, which can also be a trait of other disorders.

At Innerspace Counseling, we help people recognize and handle these thoughts, an important step in overcoming OCD. We use DBT and CBT techniques in our IOP and PHP mental health counseling. These techniques help people deal with intrusive and impulsive thoughts. Overcoming OCD is important, and these techniques can assist with that.
