Lynlee April Olivera, LMFT
Anxiety, OCD & BFRB treatment
Anxiety and OCD take many forms.
A fear of contamination, discomfort when something is out of order, distress that you might act on a harming or sexual thought, questioning your sexuality and relationship, horrific images popping into your head, fear that you are a bad person or will be punished by a higher being, blasphemous thoughts that shake your faith, or fears you are responsible for something bad happening.
Anxiety can look like worries about the future, your job or school, fear of embarrassment or public scrutiny, worries about your appearance, panic attacks, assumptions that others are judging you, health anxiety, perfectionism, hair pulling and skin picking, or wondering if you are good enough.
What does yours look like?
