Signs You May Be Struggling with OCD or OCPD
- Do you often feel like things need to be “just right” before you can relax—or move on?
- Do you rely heavily on logic and analysis, even in emotional situations?
- Do you obsess over details, routines, or doing things the “right” way—even when it creates more stress than clarity?
- Are you stuck in your head, replaying conversations, making mental checklists, or second-guessing decisions long after they’ve passed?
- Do you struggle to feel emotionally close to others, even though you want to connect more deeply?
If these questions resonate, you may be coping with a perfectionism that’s moved beyond high standards into a more rigid or anxious pattern—one that aligns with Perfectionism OCD or Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). While these patterns may have once helped you feel competent or in control, they can quietly disconnect you from your emotions, relationships, and sense of peace.
How Therapy Helps With OCD and OCPD
In therapy, we’ll explore how these patterns formed and why they’ve been so hard to let go of. You’ll learn practical strategies to reduce obsessive thinking, loosen rigid rules, and better tolerate uncertainty—without compromising your values or attention to detail.
You’ll also:
- Develop emotional awareness alongside cognitive insight
- Reconnect with parts of yourself that have been overshadowed by control
- Learn how to engage with discomfort in new, less reactive ways
- Experience more connection in your relationships—and more ease in your day-to-day life
