Many people participate in behaviors like shopping, gambling, washing, or cleaning without problematic consequences. However, when the behavior occurs repetitively, despite harmful consequences and/or when there is a feeling of loss of control over the behavior, the behavior may have become compulsive.
Many people participate in behaviors like shopping, gambling, washing, or cleaning without problematic consequences. However, when the behavior occurs repetitively, despite harmful consequences and/or when there is a feeling of loss of control over the behavior, the behavior may have become compulsive.
Some compulsive behaviors are similar in nature to addictive behaviors, while others align more closely to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or other problems with impulse control. The vetted child therapists below can assess compulsive behaviors and collaborate with you to find the best-fitting treatment plan.
For some compulsive behaviors, child therapists might help by using harm reduction or motivational interviewing techniques, which can help you understand the objective role of the compulsive behaviors in your life in order to lessen their impact. For behaviors assessed to be more obsessive-compulsive than addictive in nature, child therapists might focus on helping you identify and challenge the unhelpful thoughts related to the specific behavior, or provide exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy.
