Cleanliness does more harm than good. Bacteria are an indispensable part of human living environment, and many bacteria we contact every day are beneficial to our life and health. If selective sterilization is not carried out, it may give a green light to harmful bacteria with strong resistance, adaptability and invasiveness, destroy the microbial balance in the human body and the natural environment, and make harmful superbugs survive and multiply in large numbers. In the psychological counseling clinic, many people are addicted to cleanliness, and they are also prone to oral ulcers, diarrhea, colds, pharyngitis and other diseases.

Cognitive understanding therapy

Generally speaking, patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder are troubled by their own obsessive-compulsive symptoms, especially obsessive-compulsive behavior. On the one hand, they hope that doctors can get rid of their unreasonable thoughts and behaviors. On the other hand, I think these thoughts and actions are reasonable and necessary. Even so, the above-mentioned cleanliness addicts seem to be divided into two types. People can analyze and judge their pathological manifestations according to the actual situation and adult logic. He thinks it is time-consuming and laborious to wash hands and clothes repeatedly, and hopes to get rid of it. The other thinks that you may get cancer, and you should wash it several times. This attitude is not commensurate with his actual age and education. The former represents rational adults, while the latter is illogical, blindly afraid and has the psychological characteristics of childish children. The two men have their own opinions, and neither can order the other. However, patients are not self-aware of this pathological essential feature. If cognitive comprehension psychotherapy is used in the form of conversation, it can inspire patients to understand the psychological contradictions behind external symptoms. Expose the childishness of the child's psychological part, encourage him to direct the whole action with the attitude of an adult, give up the child's behavior pattern, and understand the pathological nature before healing.

aversion therapy

Rubber band method is commonly used. That is to say, let the patient wear a rubber band on his wrist, and once he is about to have compulsive action or behavior, let him play with the rubber band for dozens or even hundreds of times until the compulsive concept disappears and pain appears, thus achieving the purpose of restraining compulsive behavior.

Flood therapy

Let the patient sit in the room and let his friends or relatives be assistants. The patient relaxes, closes his eyes gently, and then asks the assistant to smear various liquids on the patient's hands, such as water, ink, rice soup, oil, dye, etc. When drawing, patients should try to relax, and assistants should try to describe their dirty hands in words. Patients should be patient as much as possible until they can't stand it. Open their eyes to see how dirty it is. When applying liquid, the assistant should randomly use transparent liquid and opaque liquid, and randomly use clear water and other liquids. In this way, when the patient opens his eyes, his hands will not be dirty, at least not as dirty as expected, which is a shock to the patient's mind, indicating that "dirty" often comes from his own thoughts and is not consistent with the actual situation. When patients find that their hands are really dirty, the impulse to wash their hands will be greatly enhanced. At this time, the treatment assistant must forbid him to wash his hands, which is the key to treatment. Patients will feel very painful, but they should try their best to persist and the assistants should actively encourage them.

At this critical moment, the demonstration role of assistants is great. Assistants can also put liquid on their hands, even dirtier, and speak out their inner feelings loudly. Because of the same experience, we can communicate emotionally and get closer to dirty things. At this time, patients should carefully understand the gradual disappearance of anxiety.

Flooding therapy pushed people to the peak of anxiety from the beginning, but with the increase of practice times, anxiety will gradually decline and compulsive behavior will gradually fade.
