Finding the Right Person To Help You With Your OCD

Finding the Right Person To Help You With Your OCD
How to find someone to help you with your OCD.

Now normally, people all around the world who have OCD would just go through life worrying. Some will probably go to therapists who are using hundred year old tricks. Of course some of them work and most of them not so much.

We should really rethink how good therapists, counselors and phychologists reallty are and here is why. Now of course all of the above will hate me for this article, but that's how the game is played. First off, there are some good therapists out there, but they are few far and between.

It's not really a good idea to try to learn from someone who has learned everything they know from books. You see, it's all theory and no practice. You should work with someone who has experience and results in helping others with OCD.

The very best thing to do if you have OCD thoughts is to find someone else who has had OCD thoughts and then they'll be able to teach you from experience and not just what they've read or heard about.

Be weary of "professionals" who say that they sympathize with you! You gotta understand that there are far less people who really understand OCD than you think. The fact is, it is one of the most misunderstood mental issues in the world!

So how do we actually put a permanent stop to this thing we call OCD thoughts? We can go read books and listen to relaxation tapes, or we can find someone who has been through it themselves. When faced with these two options, I would choose the latter.

The absolute best thing that you can do is actually go out into the world and find someone who has actually beaten it and then you will really be getting the best advice that you can from someone's real experience with it. You see, knowing how OCD works and how it feels is vital in being the most effective at helping someone else to get rid of it.

I have found by working with a lot of clients that a good therapist will actually not baby the person who is babying themselves with their OCD. You cannot always do what you feel like doing. With OCD the opposite is almost always what you need to be doing.

Discipline when dealing with your OCD is your best bet by far! Do not let your OCD thoughts get the best of you! You want to stand up to them and you can simply do that by not giving into them. Don't always do what you feel like doing and always know what your goals are in trying to get rid of OCD. When do you want to get rid of it by?

Dont' think for a second that reading a few articles is going to help you get rid of OCD. You see articles are good for getting little chunks of information here and there, but you really need to go out there and find a system.

People are not just going to give away all their hard earned secrets for free. It actually makes no sense. Plus, if you pay for something, you appreciate it more and you will actually use it! I can't tell you how many "free" e-books I've gotten that I never read, simply because it was free. Percieved value is important. Plus if the content is really good and you paid for it, you will actually do it, this has been proven!


Also make sure that you don't pay too much either! Don't waste your time going to those places where they charge you twenty thousand dollars to live there! I had a client do this and they said it was a huge waste of money! So be careful and do your due diligence!
