How can I get psychological treatment for OCD?

  A, listen to its natural method This method lies in the reduction and relaxation of mental stress, anything to listen to its natural, do not think about it after. For example, if you forget something, don’t bring it, worry about the door is not locked, it is not locked, and things seem to be not cleaned up, it is dirty and messy. After a period of time to overcome the resulting anxiety, the symptoms will be slowly eliminated.  Second, the root of the method to make patients aware of the real cause of mental illness, help the elimination of symptoms, so you can rely on yourself or loved ones from the following clues to explore the traumatic events of childhood: 1, the early childhood hurtful events (such as poisonous beatings, abduction, seduction, etc.); 2, the early childhood hurtful events caused to others (such as making people disabled, death, make serious damage to property); 3, the early childhood and you The experience of living with the person you hate most and the person you are most sorry for. You should also explore the initial cause and hidden meaning of the symptoms.  Third, the full immersion method simply means that you are exposed to your worst fears all at once. For example, if you have compulsive cleanliness, please sit in a room, relax, gently close your eyes, and let the assistant apply various liquids on your hands, and try to describe how dirty your hands are. At this point, you should try to hold back. When you open your eyes and find that your hands are not as dirty as you think, it will be a blow to the mind, that is, you can not stand just imagined; if it is indeed very dirty, your impulse to wash your hands will be greatly enhanced, then your assistant will forbid you to wash your hands, you will be very painful, but try to hold on, as the number of exercises increases, the anxiety will gradually subside. But this method is suitable for people with strong willpower to carry out.  Fourth, systematic desensitization method First learn the method of relaxation, then list the number of compulsive behaviors and irritating situations from easy to difficult, and then gradually perform relaxation desensitization of compulsive behaviors in each situation. In the case of hand washing fetish, you should step by step reduce the time of hand washing, increase the amount of stimulation of swag, and perform in sequence.  When you start to think compulsively, shout “stop” or give the assistant a message to shout “stop”, but be careful to give the message in time. When you encounter difficulties in the process of self-healing, please do not forget to seek help from your friends or psychologists around you, shouting “I do not want to be ‘forced'”!  Free association method Each counseling session allows patients to choose the topics they want to talk about, such as life, family, work, interactions with people, hobbies or the onset of the disease. In any case, the patient can speak out with the thoughts that come to mind, regardless of whether the things said are related to each other, logical or ridiculous.  According to the patient’s psychological state at the time, the patient is guided in a sympathetic tone to bring into the patient’s consciousness things that are associated with severe anxiety and conflict, and to let out the repressed emotions. Since many things belong to the mental trauma of early childhood, the emotional reactions generated at that time are often rather childish, and now when the patient re-experiences the old feelings in the consciousness with an adult mentality, it is easier to handle and overcome them. This is called emotional correction, so that the symptoms presented by the patient will also disappear naturally.  The central job of the counselor in the psychotherapy process is to explain to the patient the subconscious meaning of what he is saying, to help the patient overcome his resistance, and to enable a steady stream of repressed psychological information to be exposed through free association and dream analysis. The explanation is progressively deeper, based on the content of each consultation, using the patient’s words as a basis, and informing the patient of the psychological problem in a way that he or she can understand. The degree of explanation is deepened and improved gradually with long-term psychotherapy and comprehensive understanding of the patient’s psychology, and the patient gradually develops a mature psychological response and attitude toward people and things in the long-term psychotherapy, thus achieving the purpose of self-growth.  It should be noted that the indications for this therapy are for psychogenic neurosis, psychological trauma, childhood trauma, traffic, plane crash, sudden loss of loved ones, and other symptoms, and is not suitable for children or various psychiatric patients who have developed psychotic symptoms. This is because it requires long time, multiple sessions, and high cost expenses. However, this technique of classical psychoanalytic treatment has still achieved good results in various modified analytic therapies.  VIII. Empathic method When the patient sinks into past memories and names many things with a sense of anxiety, which are often related to figures close to him (e.g. parents), naturally, the emotional outburst is targeted (to his own parents). In counseling the patient often sees the therapist as the object of his venting, which is called empathy, transferring the past pathological relationship with the parents to the relationship with the therapist. When the patient appears to be empathic and shows special feelings toward the therapist, the counselor must transcend himself and make good use of this empathy to guide the patient through the process and make him realize the need for a good interpersonal relationship. When these pathological or infantile emotions and relationships exposed from the unconscious process become the content of the conscious process, this immature or “neurotic” psychological defense mechanism is weakened, and the empathy problem disappears.  Dream interpretation: “Dreams are symbols of the dreamer’s subconscious conflicting desires, and the dreamer uses symbolism to avoid anxiety in order to avoid being noticed.” The analyst analyzes the content of the dream with a view to discovering the true meaning of these symbols.” Therefore, another technique to uncover psychological information in the subconscious is to ask the patient to also talk about the dream he had during the session and to associate freely the different contents of the dream so that the therapist can understand the external and potential contents of the dream (i.e. the symbolic meaning of the story).
