Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Group Practices near 33076, Florida

Finding a therapist who has knowledge and experience in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) can be a critical step for therapy-seekers who experience OCD symptoms. OCD is a mental health condition marked by repetitive, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts that cause distress or anxiety. People may manage these thoughts through rituals or compulsions, such as repeated checking or washing behaviors. These compulsions can prove distressing unto themselves, and impair one's ability to function in daily life. There are different types of OCD; examples of obsession and compulsion symptoms include: checking, contamination, symmetry and ordering, and ruminations and intrusive thoughts.

One of the most effective, evidence-based therapies for obsessive compulsive disorder is exposure and response prevention (ERP), a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In ERP, the client begins by learning tools for managing anxiety. Then, the group practice helps with the gradual exposure to triggers for the obsessions and anxiety, after which the clients are asked not to engage in their usual compulsive behaviors. Over time, this leads to a decrease in anxiety and a solidification of skills to manage intrusive thoughts in the future. Group practices might also draw on other therapies, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) or mindfulness to help people with obsessive thoughts.
