Uncontrollable Urges and Thoughts Rule Your Life
Rumination and fear replace life goals, connection, and enjoyment. Every day feels like a struggle to move on from worrying thoughts, and time loses meaning.
It seems impossible for you to concentrate on anything else. You keep hyper-focusing on the past or past decisions.
Life goals get further and further away.
It has become harder and harder to leave the house. You feel alone and helpless.
Danger Lurks Around Every Corner
The only way to feel better is to avoid others, ask others for reassurance, or engage in repetitive checking behaviors.
Happiness and connection turn into avoidance of people, places, or situations that trigger fear.
You spend hours checking the internet and your body or asking care providers to ensure you or others you love are okay.
Everything around you begins to seem dangerous.
There are seemingly no explanations for your behavior.
You’re Not Sure Why This Is Happening
The way you behave makes you feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Extreme self-doubt makes you feel even worse.
As you keep ruminating on the experience, your mind races, and it cannot turn off.
Therapy can provide the answers you keep searching for.
There is a way out of this endless loop.
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy) is the leading choice for the treatment of OCD, severe anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, and even trauma. ERP makes it easier to tolerate fear and anxiety over time by helping the brain form new connections.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment used with ERP to help increase distress tolerance and improve everyday life functioning. You’ll learn to respond to life challenges calmly and decisively rather than react in ways that leave you feeling powerless.
Start taking control of your fears rather than wasting time on “what ifs” and catastrophizing.
