Anxiety Therapy Orlando: A Guide to Understanding and Overcoming OCD

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

How often have you heard someone say, "Oh, I'm so OCD," or make a joke about OCD while dismissing the serious issues it causes? Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a complex mental health condition. Living with obsessive-compulsive disorder involves much more than being too neat or liking things done the exact way. People with OCD are trapped in a loop of repetitive thoughts and behaviors over which they believe they have no control.

EMDR Therapy: Healing the Unspoken

You feel anxious, on edge, and overwhelmed. This persistent feeling has left you filled with self-doubt and uncertainty in your relationships, at work, and even during your leisure time. You’re unsure why you feel this way and have tried to cope through it. You may have an awareness of going through difficult life events earlier in life, but no specific memories come to mind.
