An important thing to know about OCD is that it can look very different between individuals. Obsessions and compulsions are unique to the individual as well as the situations they encounter on a daily basis.

While it is common that ritualistic and repetitive behaviors may occur, these behaviors often vary between individuals. Common themes surrounding OCD include the fear of germs 🦠 or the need to arrange things a certain way.

If you striggle with these, or any other sort of OCD manifestations we would love to be an aid to you.

Summit can come alongside you and help with…
- repeated unwanted thoughts or behaviors
- undesirable urges
-intrusive images that may cause distress or anxiety
- uncontrollable fears

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (also known as OCD) deals with two major components; both obsessions and compulsions. These are not to be confused or forgotten. In order to be diagnosed with OCD, an individual must have obsessions, compulsions, or both present.

To outline each of these, we have provided definitions to help differentiate between obsessions and compulsions, mainly since they are key indicators of OCD.

If you are an individual struggling with these symptoms, we would strongly encourage you to seek support. This can look like sharing what you are going through with a family member, close friend, or therapist. In doing this, individuals may come alongside you as you deal with your OCD.

If you do not have someone you can talk to about your current struggles, the counselors at Summit Family Counseling would love to be of aid. Contact us today if this is you.
