Hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for obsessions and compulsions:

Obsessive symptoms:

 

 

 

 

Obsessive disorders are usually linked to compulsive disorders and are commonly known as Obsessive compulsive disorders or O.C.D. However obsessive thought processes and behaviours are experienced quite differently to compulsive thoughts and behaviours.

 

The main difference is that if you suffer with obsessive symptoms, no relief is gained by acting out your thoughts or rituals. Thinking or acting out your repetitive thoughts and rituals seems to feed them, and this makes the urge stronger each time. This in turn increases your feelings of anxiety. Obsessions are uncontrolled thoughts, images or impulses. Obsessive thoughts are often about contamination, dirt and germs or fears of acting out aggressive or violent thoughts and these upsetting thoughts are often about loved ones.
