What are compulsions? Understanding and learning how to manage compulsive behaviours and intrusive thoughts requires you to reflect and build your self-awareness, in order to better identify how to handle your situation.

\\n


\\n

Compulsions often go hand-in-hand with conditions like obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and can have a detrimental effect on your well-being if left unaddressed.\\xa0
