Dear Jay,, i think you might be surprised at how meditation can help with those obcessive thoughts. if you can get to a meditation center, or even a DBT group, and start with Mindfulness training, that would be a good place to start. I have been Dx with OCD and Trich for 20 yrs, and finally, about 5 yrs ago, i was recommended to try this new technology called Center Point. it feeds a different tone in each ear by stereo headphones and CD's , and makes the brain reconnect the two sides. If you want more info, i'd be glad to chat with you about it, or you can go online to CenterPointe Research Institute.com. Best wishes,,, Gus
