Frequently Asked Questions
-
That’s incredibly common with OCD. In fact, intrusive thoughts often target what you care about most. Having a thought does not mean you agree with it or would act on it.
-
No. Many people struggle with intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns without a formal diagnosis. We focus on what’s actually happening, not just labels.
-
The goal isn’t to eliminate thoughts—it’s to change your relationship with them so they stop controlling your behavior and attention.
-
That’s common. These patterns can be deeply ingrained—but they are also very workable with the right approach.
-
Yes—but not in a rigid, “white-knuckle your way through it” kind of approach.
ERP is integrated into the work when it’s helpful, but it’s guided by ACT principles—meaning we focus on building willingness, flexibility, and values-based action, not just reducing anxiety.
This tends to make the process feel more manageable and sustainable over time.
