Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a rare, but debilitating disorder. It is characterized by unwanted, aversive experiences of dread or a disturbing sense of impending doom. Compulsions are behaviors or mental acts that are performed to reduce the intensity of the aversive feelings (obsessions). In the United States, the prevalence of OCD is 2-3% of the population, and symptoms usually first arise in childhood.

The most common fears associated with OCD are usually contamination fears or fear that something is wrong. Checking and decontamination rituals, need for symmetry, counting, arranging, and repetitive superstitious acts are among the most common compulsions. Most people who suffer from OCD have multiple obsessions or compulsions.

Rebecca Hanson

Psychotherapy Intern

Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I feel honored to be part of the team and part of your journey here at TRU Wellness Center. I am a ketamine support aide with TRU Wellness Center, and my services are available to you upon request. In my role, I will sit with you and hold space for you during your infusion experience. I can be a source of calmness and stability, and I am present to listen and provide emotional safety during your infusion. My role may involve creating and setting the desired tone of the session and using co-regulation techniques such as breathing and mindfulness, as well as the integration and processing of your experience. I am currently enrolled at Bethel University in their master’s program for clinical mental health counseling. I have a strong interest in psychedelic neuroscience and its applications in areas of sexual trauma, addiction, and depression. I also have a passion for health and fitness and enjoy leading a variety of mind-body techniques, including yoga, Pilates, meditation, guided imagery, relaxation, and fascial manipulation.
