Christian Counseling for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Do you struggle with anxious or fearful thoughts? Are you worried by imaginary events or scenarios, or that something bad will happen if you do not carry out a specific task or ritual? Do you continually rehash events or conversations in your mind because you wonder if you acted or spoke appropriately? If any of these describe you, you may be suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

OCD can affect people in a variety of ways, typically causing them to feel anxious and out-of-control of their behaviors and thoughts. If you are tired of feeling this way because of OCD, Christian counseling for OCD might be right for you.

The condition known as OCD causes you to experience unexpected and unwelcome thoughts. It has been compared to having a song stuck on repeat in your head, except that instead of a song, you are consumed with unwanted thoughts that play in an endless loop. To break out of the loop, a person with OCD must perform some action or engage in some behavior (often repeatedly) that is related to the thoughts. An example of this is someone who fears that they will get sick and repeatedly washes their hands to ward off their anxiety.

It is natural to feel a sense of desperation or helplessness in the face of things that we believe are beyond our control. However, God knows where you are and what you are struggling with. He knows your every thought, emotion, and behavior – wanted or unwanted. If you are struggling with OCD, the Christian counselors at Mission Viejo Christian Counseling can help you find healing in the promises of God using proven counseling techniques.
