Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, is a mental disorder that affects millions of people around the world. Current estimates are that OCD impacts around two percent of the world’s population. Therefore, there are around 156,000,000 people living with OCD around the world. You are not suffering alone, and can work through your symptoms with others who understand what you are going through by your side.
During his graduate program, Ronald had the opportunity to lead OCD group therapy sessions and saw the value these sessions offered for his clients. Seeing the benefit that recovering from OCD alongside other individuals suffering from OCD could offer his clients, he was inspired to start OCD group therapy here at The OCD Treatment Center.
The meetings are 2 hours long from 6-8pm and he meets with clients twice a month. These sessions are meant to offer guidance through Exposure and Response Prevention techniques, other forms of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
OCD can feel isolating but you are not alone. Joining Ronald in our group sessions can help you overcome your OCD symptoms with others who understand what you are going through by your side.
OCD is a treatable disorder, and with proper treatment, many people with OCD can lead normal, productive lives. If you think you may have OCD, it is important to seek professional help so that you can get the treatment you need. We are here to provide you with group treatment to help you overcome your symptoms with others who suffer from OCD by your side.
Group therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a structured form of OCD treatment where individuals with OCD meet together under the guidance of one of our therapists. It’s designed to provide both therapeutic techniques and social support which can be helpful in recovery.
Group therapy doesn’t replace individual treatment for everyone, but it can be a powerful complement or a standalone option for many people. It’s especially helpful for building confidence, staying motivated, and feeling understood while working toward symptom reduction and improved daily functioning.
At The OCD Treatment Center, we offer multiple services to help clients come out of The OCD Cycle.
CBT helps people with OCD understand the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to their disorder. It also teaches them how to change these thought patterns and behaviors.
By learning specialized therapeutic CBT interventions, clients suffering from OCD are able to minimize the impact of intrusive thoughts and eliminate compulsive behaviors.
Exposure and response prevention is the gold-standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
The premise of ERP is that by exposure to the things that trigger your OCD obsessions, you can learn to manage and eventually stop your compulsive behaviors. This exposure can be done in a number of ways, such as imaginal exposure (i.e., mentally imagining the exposure), in vivo exposure (i.e., exposure to real-life situations), or exposure via massed practice (i.e., repeated exposure to the trigger over a short period of time).
The key to ERP is to provide exposure to the trigger while also preventing the compulsive response. In other words, you would expose yourself to the fear-triggering situation or object but not engage in the compulsions that usually follow. Through this process, you can learn that the anxiety will eventually subside and that the compulsions are not necessary. Ultimately, ERP can help you reduce your OCD symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, also known as ACT, is a type of therapy that has been shown to be effective in treating OCD. The goal of ACT is to help people learn to accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment, and to commit to taking actions that are in line with their values. One key component of ACT is exposure and response prevention, which involves exposure to the things that trigger OCD symptoms, without engaging in the compulsive behaviors that provide temporary relief.
Research has shown that acceptance and commitment therapy can be an effective treatment for OCD, and it may be especially helpful for people who have not responded well to other types of therapy.
Exposure Therapy (ET) is a type of treatment that is often used to help people who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of exposure therapy is to help people face their fears and learn to tolerate the anxiety that comes with them. During exposure therapy, people are exposed to the things they are afraid of in a controlled and safe environment. They are then taught how to cope with the anxiety that exposure to these things causes.
ET has been shown to be an effective treatment for OCD, and it can help people reduce their symptoms and live normal, productive lives.
Mindfulness-Based Behavioral Therapy (MBBT) is a form of therapy that is based on mindfulness techniques. mindfulness is the practice of being aware of and present in the moment. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for several mental health disorders, including OCD. MBBT is a specific type of mindfulness-based therapy that is designed specifically for treating OCD.
The main goal of MBBT is to help people with OCD to become more aware of their thoughts and behaviors, and to learn how to control them. MBBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for OCD, and it can help people to reduce their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
