Have Irrational Fears Infested Your Mind?
Do certain irrational fears swirl around in your mind so badly you are compelled to do something to relieve your anxiety? Have you tried everything, but nothing has worked? Powerful, dark anxieties and intrusive thoughts have taken hold in your mind and won’t leave.
Does Your Dark Anxiety Force you to Do Things?
If anxious obsessions are making you do rituals, you may have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Obsessions may be about germs, or your health. They may involve fears you will harm others. They may concern religious observances or superstitions about numbers. You may be checking so much that you can’t live a normal life. You may fear that your sexual orientation will suddenly switch, or that you will do something horrible or humiliating or sexual in public.
Do you Feel Tired and Alone?
Obsessions, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive rituals are exhausting. Most people don’t understand them and tell you to just stop it.
A Promotion at Work? Graduation from School? Are you Kidding?
You may not be able to get your work done. You may not be able to finish school. Your boss and your teachers are patient, but how long will their patience last?
Your Loved Ones Do Their Best, but They Can’t Really Help
Relationships suffer too. Maybe you aren’t able to date because who would put up with your nutty fears and routines? Maybe you have even lost a beautiful relationship.
You Hate to Be a Burden
You rely more than you want on your parents, or maybe a brother or sister. But their patience has limits too, and they just want to see you heal and thrive. They may be losing hope just as fast as you.
OCD Is A Tricky Beast
You are stuck for a good reason. A typical person with OCD waits 17 years before getting the right treatment, and there aren’t enough therapists trained to do the right treatment.
Not by a mile.
Over 150,000 people in Ohio live with OCD. Very few therapists are deeply trained in the special care OCD requires.
OCD Is an Evil Tyrant
It’s not your fault that you haven’t overcome your OCD so far. Without the right kind of therapy, OCD does not get better. It often gets worse. You avoid more situations over time, so your world gets smaller. The anxiety grows and shifts, and the intrusive thoughts get more unreasonable. They demand perfect compliance to their tyrant rules.
I Know how to Win Against the Dark Force of OCD
I decided to dedicate my practice to patients like you after seeing so many people whose OCD warped every part of their existence. They struggled like you. The went to counseling for years.
They took medication.
They tried meditation.
They did EMDR
They looked for childhood trauma.
None of it worked, because those treatments fail to strike at the source of OCD.
People with OCD need specialized care!
Do You Want a Fighter Experienced in Overthrowing the Dark Tyrant Inside You?
There is a powerful method, called Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP), that yields incredible results. I have been offering this to my therapy clients since the early 1990’s, shortly after it was invented at the University of Pennsylvania by Dr. Edna Foa.
In the beginning, every one of my clients was terrified of facing their fears in real life. As they started the therapy, their anxiety got worse. Far worse. They stopped sleeping. They argued with their closest friends about nothing.
They talked about quitting therapy.
The closer we got to defeating the obsessive intrusive thoughts, the more their obsessions gathered force and attacked from another angle. For the first half of therapy, it seemed like the Dark Forces were unstoppable.
OCD never gives up the fight, but loses in the End
And then, as if a switch flipped, their anxiety dropped. They started forgetting to go back and check the door exactly 5 times after leaving the house.
They forgot to wash their hands and actually enjoyed eating. With dirty hands! And they didn’t worry about it afterwards. They were perfectly calm.
I do this treatment because it works better than any treatment I have offered for anything else. I’ve been working in mental health care since I was a college student in the middle 1980’s. Four decades.
The results are dependable, and richly satisfying to see. The patients who stick with this incredibly tough treatment get stunningly better.
Then they finish school.
They find the love of their life and get married.
They get a promotion.
They savor life in peace.
Their lives become (do you dare hope for it?) normal
ExRP is an almost miraculous success story. In some studies, three weeks of daily 90 minute sessions drove 9 of every 10 patients treated into remission. A year later, 7 of 10 were still in remission.
Think about it. Some people have been disabled by anxiety for 20 years but could have achieved remission in as little as three weeks.
Not 3 years.
Not even 3 months.
3 weeks.
It is a tragedy that this treatment is not offered to every person with OCD from the moment it first develops. So much needless suffering would be prevented.
Meet Your OCD Warrior
I’m Dr. Robert Gore, and I’ve been fighting my own anxieties since childhood. They say if you want total cure you have to become a therapist. So that's what I did!
I have tested every treatment tool in my own life before offering it to others. And I have been helping people like you for a long time. I did my training at two of the best places to learn how to beat OCD, the USC (Fight On, Trojans!) Ph.D. Psychology program and Cognitive Behavior Associates of Beverly Hills . This was around the time ExRP was first developed by Dr. Edna Foa so I was one of the first students fully trained from the beginning of my career in ExRP and other forms of cutting edge CBT.
I do this work because I hate to see people suffer, and I love to see them defeat the beast that is OCD. It gives me enormous satisfaction to watch my clients blossom and start living their best life, free of the intrusive thoughts that were possessing their minds.
Free to do whatever they want without having to waste time on rituals.
Luke, Meet Yoda!
If obsessive anxiety and ritual behaviors are taking over your life, please don’t waste another day on your OCD. It does not deserve any more of your time or your precious life energy.
Let me be the Yoda to your Skywalker. Let me show you how to use the Force of Exposure Therapy to defeat the OCD dark side that keeps trying to drag you down.
Help you, I can. Help you, I would.
