Excessive Uncertainty (and the compulsive to desire to clean, check or do things
again and again) Some people start having persistent or intrusive
impulses, thoughts, images or ideas that make them ruminate many, many times over
whether something is clean or safe, whether a task was done orderly or
perfect enough or whether that task was finished. These thoughts make them
feel uncertain and anxious and very uncomfortable. In order to calm themselves down or prevent these thoughts,
these people start washing things too many times, checking things like
doorknobs, windows, buttons to make sure they are fastened tightly or Chinese
characters to make sure they are written perfectly or they might just repeat
a behavior or spoken phrase several times to make themselves feel good and
safe. Sometime these people find
themselves constantly asking themselves questions or making lists in their
minds, and sometimes these people even ask other people the same questions
over and over again to make sure that they heard something correctly and have
not forgotten anything. This
wouldn’t be much of a problem until it starts taking up too much time, so
much time that it affects their jobs, their families and their ability to get
through the day. James
Steed can teach people with the need to repeat something to relieve their
excessive feeling of certainty 1) how to use self-hypnosis and regulated
breathing to relax, 2) how to reduce the number of
perfectionistic ideas, 3) WARNING: Hypnosis is not a substitute for professional medical or psychiatric care. Anyone with such problems should seek the aide of trained professionals. Back Anxiety
