OCD is an extremely debilitating condition. Sufferers can feel trapped in their thought processes. Unable to deviate from behaviours due to intrusive thoughts.
Fortunately, hypnotherapy and EMDR can help by teaching the brain to recognise an intrusive thought. Then this will be automatically deleted for someone more positive. It is also an easier way to do ERP therapy. tThis is because exposure is via the imagination. As research has taught us, the mind cannot tell the difference between something real and something imagined. Consequently, it is just as effective. It could be argued more effective than in person, as you can make the outcome the way you want it to be in your imagination, which may not be possible in life. The more you practice in the mind, the easier it becomes in reality. Making it easier to gain control of the OCD intrusive thoughts and routines. This is all backed up by research.
As everyone is different, it is difficult to say how many sessions a client will need. The average is around 4 sessions. This seems like a small number, but as the hypnotherapy is recorded on each session, the client is able to practice in their minds at home also. Reducing the amount of sessions needed.
