Genuine Self Therapy

What a great shout out from our photographer!!

There are many things our clients wished they would have know sooner about OCD.

Like:

It's neurobiological.
It's highly treatable.
Compulsions only fuel OCD.
And that you are NOT going crazy.

So cool!! Thanks La Crosse community! We love serving folks with anxiety and OCD!!!

Yep! 👇

Genuine Self Therapy We provide therapy for anxiety and other related disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder.

This seems to be a common concern as of late!

Do you worry about your health even when absent of symptoms or mild at best?

Do you google symptoms online? Web MD. Reddit.

Do you seek out medical services more often?

Or maybe you avoid the doctor so you don't get the scary news.

If this sounds like you, you CAN learn to live with fear instead of in fear.

Give us a call. Schedule a free consultation or just get started in treatment!

Cannot be more true! Seriously.

Be open to your anxiety. Let it exist. Be curious. Let it fade to the background. Heck, be playful or sarcastic with it.

But please stop resisting it. Stop trying to rid it. You are literally adding fuel to the fire with efforts to resist or rid.

What is in your OCD "arsenal"?

It is vital to have your own weapons to take down OCD.

Maybe it is doing the opposite of what it says.

Maybe it's purposely having the scary thought (because, come on, OCD was going to give it to you anyway).

Maybe it is postponing the safety behavior.

Maybe it is just telling it "Let's see OCD".

Yes!! Thank you!

We are hopeful that we can spread more awareness and much needed resources and education on anxiety and OCD!

Please follow us on social media for :

- Tips, tricks, and strategies

-Session availability

-What we are learning about

-Encouragement and connection

❄️ What do you do anyway in the face of anxiety or OCD?

❄️ Living out our values and continuing to do the things we enjoy can be a great way to stick it to OCD.

❄️ If the anxiety doesn’t go away entirely, that’s ok. Doing the things we care about is more meaningful than sitting stuck in an OCD or anxiety loop.

❄️ LIVING life is important!

👉 The “RP” in ERP is so important! Response Prevention is a key component of OCD work: here a few statements to try when OCD pops up. 👆

We know, it's cold.
Really cold.

That doesn't mean ERP stops!

It means ERP is inside!

Plenty to do indoors!

Watch a movie that might be a little triggering (plenty of rom coms for relationship OCD).

Practice having a scary thought while drinking some hot chocolate.

Work on reducing hand washing, hide some of the soap dispensers.

Pick up a good self help book or listen to an OCD podcast!!
