Obsessive Compulsive Treatment

I think obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD is a greatly misunderstood disease in today’s world. If a disease is misunderstood then it is very hard to treat. Obsessive compulsive treatment currently includes a wide range of options some have pros, but mostly there are inadequate attempts to cure this disease.

Lets take a look at a couple of the options available right now. First off we have medication. Now while you should always seek the advice of your doctor first I don’t believe that medication is the way to go even though they may suggest it as the best route. Medicines aren’t particularly selective when it comes to emotions. We don’t yet fully understand how emotions are created and interact within the brain. Medicines often go under-tested before being released. Therefore the common way a medicine works is like using a tank to smash a block of butter, it gets the job done but it’s overpowered and can often cause damage elsewhere due to factors that weren’t understood or taken into account.

Other obsessive compulsive treatment can be found in the various techniques of the self help industry. I think that most of these are actually a lot better than medicine because the side effects and damage that you might see from medicine you don’t see from these techniques. For the most part if these techniques don’t work nothing changes. The draw backs for these techniques then is that too often they require constant repetition day after day to get them to take hold. They can take more time to get to work than you are saved by not suffering from OCD, which for some people is a huge amount of time. Another problem with them is that a lot of them try to overpower the symptoms you are suffering, they don’t really work on the real underlying issue.

OCD is caused by an over attachment in the primal brain to emotions like fear and anxiety. These emotions are all movement initiators and have nothing to do with thought. This is why people with OCD will do things over and over again, it’s because they can’t actually connect to the part of their brain that thinks “the oven is switched off, next task” or “the door is locked” etc. It’s a constant movement issue.

If you are looking for an effective obsessive compulsive treatment the essence of what you need is a technique that focuses on balancing out the movement part of the brain with the thinking part of the brain. A balance is what most people have in most areas of their life, and indeed even people with OCD aren’t obsessive compulsive about everything, so there is balance there. Once a balance is re-achieved (people aren’t born with OCD it is generated at some point in their lives through an experience with a high emotional attachment) the OCD will naturally disappear, and in more cases than not it will disappear in all the places they experience it. If you achieve proper balance you won’t ever need to repeat the process again and you can go on with your life.

Steve Hyde was a long time sufferer of both OCD and social anxiety. He has tried many techniques to rid himself of both these afflictions. Upon discovering a technique several years ago that completely eliminated both his OCD and social anxiety he has dedicated himself to helping people achieve at least the same levels of change in their own lives. He now runs a one-to-one coaching business helping people who are as dedicated to achieving the life of their dreams as he is.
