Most of us have, at some time, felt uncertain about leaving the iron or the stove on and some have even gone home to check. This type of behavior is just normal and doesn't cause any damage or harm in one's life. However, if you have intrusive "what if" thoughts, and your need to perform these behaviors on a regular basis and they interfere with your daily life, then you might be suffering from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

OCD is a condition marked by irrational beliefs (obsessions) and rituals (compulsions). The obsessions are recurrent, unwanted thoughts that are difficult or impossible for you to ignore and cause you anxiety. By performing repetitive, ritualized compulsions, you (temporarily) ease your anxiety. It may, for example, be that you often wash your hands very thoroughly, or check all the locks in your home. You may feel like you "have" to do these rituals. These thoughts and behaviors most likely take up a lot of your time and energy, causing you significant stress which can cause tension in your relationships and other aspects of your life.

Luckily there is hope, even if you have tried to stop your compulsions before and it has not been as successful as you would like. Our therapy for OCD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT and your therapist, you will identify what triggers your OCD. You will learn how to face your obsessions and find ways to refrain from ritualizing. Eventually you will be able to face these triggers without the need to perform your normal rituals (like washing your hands several times in a row or checking the lights numerous times). You will discover how to replace these negative thoughts with more realistic ones. Eventually you will be in charge of the thoughts and behaviors that previously have been fueling your OCD, so that you can live life free from obsessions and compulsions.

"I've been with online-therapy.com for a month now and I must say, so far they are doing a great job. I've tried therapy before and it didn't work for me because if the therapist or the company itself and as I said so far I'm well impressed. I've felt well guided without pressure and a great thank you to Tanya, my therapist, as she is so so good. The program is really complete with a great way for us to guide ourselves or be guided by them. If you are feeling alone and not sure of what to do, give it a try.
You have nothing to lose as probably you already did l, so might as well. And don't give up on yourselves most of all. Be strong, you are loved and cared for!!!"

"I’ve always been against therapy due to social stigma, Alan made this process less scary and more open.
Therapy is a great tool that i was just too afraid to tap into before."
