it can be a long and rocky road to "recovery" from OCD's... i have only traces left of mine, which included trichotillomania. i could not tolerate psych meds, so i suffered without relief for 15 yrs, until i found an acupuncturist who helped me.

i went in to stop smoking, and when he gave the treatment, it affected my OCDs. many of my phobias were lifted almost immediately, and the OCD's were better after many treatments. but, many times one must keep up treatments for continued success and this can be expensive.

he referred me to a brain repair program called Holosync, sold by CenterPointe.com. it is an auditory (sound) program that uses CD's and stereo earphones to feed different beats into each ear. i know it sounds odd, but i used it faithfully and am permanently cured, not only of my OCD's and most of my Phobias and Anxiety, but of BiPolar too~!

it is not cheap, and no insurance i know of covers it, but to me a cure is certainly better than a treatment~! i hope people will check this out,, i have known people in PC who use it, and have talked with other users online, and all agree, it's real~
best wishes
