OCD Therapy
OCD Therapy found in Carmel, Indiana
You are not alone.
Even before getting out of bed, intrusive thoughts can appear:
“Did I turn the stove off last night?”
“What if my baby isn't breathing?”
“What if I woke up sick and don’t know it yet?”
“Did I touch something contaminated yesterday?”
This isn’t a choice. It’s automatic—like a mental alarm clock going off.
This can make ordinary tasks—work, school, conversations—feel mentally exhausting.

Relief is possible.
After ERP, thoughts might sound more like this:
“It’s just a thought. I don’t need to do anything.”
“My brain is sending noise. I can let it pass.”
“I’m getting my life back piece by piece.”
“I can breathe again.”
“I have choices instead of rules.”
Your mind feels quieter. Relationships improve. The day feels less heavy. Confidence grows.
