Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Characterized by recurring intrusive and unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that increase anxiety, leading to the urge to perform behavioral or mental compulsions to relieve this anxiety. This pattern of unwanted thoughts and compulsions can make it difficult to go about daily life in a satisfying way.Perfectionism
Characterized by a strong need to have things done a certain or “right” way, this trait often leads to a rigid personal moral compass and high standards. It contributes to inflexible thinking patterns and unrealistic expectations of oneself and others.
People with this tendency often experience difficulties in relationships and anxiety in their day-to-day life.
Trauma
When a particularly jarring or traumatic event occurs in our lives, it often impacts us emotionally and mentally. Reactions to traumatic events (Posttraumatic Stress) can include avoidance, nightmares, uncontrollable thoughts, increased hypervigilance, feeling on edge, mood instability, and poor self-esteem.
These symptoms can lead to feelings of being misunderstood and isolated, affecting our interpersonal relationships.
