“Some people worry more about certain things than others, and many also have unique and special behaviours (compulsions), routines or rituals that they must perform every day to function normally. Outsiders may find these as strange behaviour, but it is commonly known as obsessive-compulsive behaviour, and it is very important to seek professional help when this type of behaviour gets out of hand and adversely affect one’s family or work life.

OCD is not something to be ashamed of, but the sooner an individual gets help, the greater the chance of complete healing. It can be treated through psychotherapy, group therapy or behavioural therapy and even with medication by a qualified OCD therapist, who fully understands the nature of a person’s fears, obsessions, and compulsive behaviours. An OCD therapist is trained to help individuals channel and control their emotions,” said Mario, a counsellor from Novissimo Counselling.

The best treatment results often come from cognitive behavioural therapy. The therapist discusses the concrete procedure at the beginning of the therapy with the patient. One method in cognitive behavioural therapy is exposure exercises that are considered effective. In these exercises, the patient is confronted with the stimulus that normally elicits his compulsive behaviour without allowing him to the inner pressure.
Other methods of behavioural therapy include, for example, methods of cognitive restructuring, relaxation procedures, systematic desensitisation, social skills training and problem-solving training. Innovative research on obsessive-compulsive disorder has enabled therapists to apply the right treatment for OCD patients, and that is exactly what Novissimo Counselling is all about.
