Obsessions: Persistent, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that cause distress.
Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or rituals performed to alleviate anxiety or prevent feared outcomes.
Perfectionism: An intense need for things to be done a certain way or a fear of making mistakes.
Rigidity: Difficulty adapting to changes or disruptions in routine.
This therapy helps men identify and challenge irrational thoughts and behaviors that are linked with OCD, as well as develop healthier coping mechanisms.
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) involves gradually exposing individuals to situations that trigger their obsessions and helping them resist the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors. Over time, this approach can reduce the frequency and intensity of OCD symptoms.
Few men may benefit from medications such as SSRIs or tricyclic antidepressants to help alleviate OCD symptoms. Our team closely monitors medication regimens to ensure safety and effectiveness.
We provide a non-judgmental space where individuals can discuss their struggles with OCD and receive encouragement from peers and professionals.
