Hi. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be given. "These six core processes of ACT include the following: Acceptance; Cognitive Defusion; Being Present; Self as Context; Values; Committed Action. Acceptance is an alternative to our instinct to avoid thinking about negative—or potentially negative—experiences. It is the active choice to allow unpleasant experiences to exist, without trying to deny or change them. Acceptance is not a goal of ACT, but a method of encouraging action that will lead to positive results. Cognitive Defusion refers to the techniques intended to change how an individual reacts to their thoughts and feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy does not intend to limit our exposure to negative experiences, but rather to face them and come out the other side with a decreased fixation on these experiences. Being Present can be understood as the practice of being aware of the present moment, without judgment the experience. In other words, it involves experiencing what is happening without trying to predict or change the experience. Self as Context is the idea that an individual is not simply the sum of their experiences, thoughts, or emotions. The “self as context” process offers the alternative concept that there is a self outside of the current experience. We are not only what happens to us. We are the ones experiencing what happens to us. Values in this context are the qualities we choose to work towards in any given moment. We all hold values, consciously or unconsciously, that direct our steps. In ACT, we use tools that help us live our lives in accordance with the values that we hold dear. Finally, ACT aims to help patients commit to actions that will assist in their long-term goals and live a life consistent with their values. Positive behavior changes cannot occur without awareness of how a given behavior affects us. Ability to open up Ability to be present Ability to do what matters." (Source Research Paper)

"People who live with OCD drag a metal sea anchor around. Obsession is a break, a source of drag, not a badge of creativity, a mark of genius or an inconvenient side effect of some greater function." David Adam, 

It can be well treated with counseling sessions and medication if required.

Hi, I can understand the stress your sister and your family maybe going through due to ocd. Therapy can help her deal with these obsessive thoughts and compulsions if she chooses to work on it. Family support is a great positive in the treatment of ocd .

The first step would be to start with a detailed understanding about the nature and the severity of OCD according to which further actions can be suggested.

OCD is treatable and one such illness, which can be treated with out medication if it is at the rate of mild level. But for that client and his family needs to understand what OCD means. Further in therapy this client will be explained what ERP means and how you can do ERP at home. But for that you need to consult a therapist.

Consult a psychological Counselor for a therapy to overcome this issue..

Hi.... Who diagnosed her with OCD? Such condition needs a proper psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis. She can overcome this condition with a combination of medication and therapy. It may take sometime but her issues will be resolved from the root. Also, if she has developed this habit of washing her hands and clothes again and again after covid, this may also be developed out of fear of infection and may not be that irrational.

Consult a Psychiatrist first and then a Psychologist. CBT along with Lifestyle Guidance is required.
