Obsessions and Compulsions treated with Hypnotherapy

Analytical therapy uses the minds natural ability to work out emotional/psychological problems.

By using ‘free association’ while in Hypnosis your mind is encouraged to let it’s natural process of linking one thought to another ,without applying any intellectual (logical) direction to these thoughts, back to the originating cause of the problem. Once found this then allows the emotional release and intellectual understanding of the cause of the problem in turn this removes the effect of the problem (the symptoms) for good. So a problem which has caused considerable discomfort to a person for years or a lifetime can be a thing of the past within a few short weeks (one session per week for 8-10 weeks is an average length for Analytical therapy).

 

Obsessive compulsive disorder is actually a complete misnomer .Obsessive actions and behaviours are quite different from Compulsive actions and behaviours and indeed the thought processes of the Obsessive are very different to that of the Compulsive.
The greatest difference is the fact that the Obsessive gains no relief from the enactment of his or her obsessive thoughts or the actions which they repeatedly perform to relieve the symptoms which they suffer but unfortunately this only serves to produce more anxiety and distress.
The Compulsive does have some reward for their inexplicable thoughts and actions in the shape of an easing of their symptoms for a short while at least.

 With this in mind here the explanation of the Obsessive Compulsive disorder.
Always common are recurrent obsessional thoughts or compulsive acts.
Obsessional thoughts are ideas, images or impulses that enter in a persons thought processes again and again in a very stereo-typical form.
The Obsessive-compulsive is well aware that these thoughts "often frightening or disgusting" to person come from themselves but has no control over them.
