I have been in therapy for my OCD with a substance abuse counselor. Her strategies have led me to find out the CAUSE of my OCD symptoms rather than just dealing with the behavior itself. I have found that it is when I feel that I am not in control of my own life that the OCD surfaces. I, personally, do not believe that behavior modification is the answer, it's treating the symptoms without treating the disease. My therapist has done several sessions of EMDR with me and it has helped tremendously! You might want to check into this.
