How can I help a person with
OCD?
 |
Respect the person's privacy and do not disclose to anyone without the person's express request that you do so. |
|
Buy them one of our relaxation tools |
|
Acknowledge and reward ritual control. |
|
Acknowledge the OCD as an entity separate from the individual |
|
If an improvement occurs in the obsessive compulsive behavior, don't assume that your support facilitated the improvement, as this sets you up for feelings of failure and self-blame if a setback occurs. |
|
Direct them to this website. |
|
Even if the person laughs at his or her own compulsion, try not to make jokes about it yourself. |
|
Allow the person time to talk … resist answering, but just listen for periods of up to 10 minutes, then say "Can I respond now?" before telling them your ideas, feelings and input. |
