Breaking Free: Hypnotherapy's Path to OCD Recovery
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterised by intrusive thoughts (obsessions)
and repetitive behaviours (compulsions) that can disrupt daily life. Recognising these
symptoms and seeking help from a qualified Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist is a crucial
first step towards managing the condition. Treatment involves educating clients about OCD
and helping them reduce stress while focusing on desired outcomes and manageable steps. We support the client to move attention and focus away from the symptoms instead engaging the part of the brain responsible for self control, problem solving and emotional regulation.
