Let’s face it: we all have at least one strange or embarrassing habit or behavior that we may (or may not) admit to. I, for instance, refuse to sleep in my bed unless I am clean. Sometimes, if I’m too lazy to shower, I’ll curl up on the couch and spend the night there instead. Weird, I know, but true. This behavior stems, I think, from my need to feel safe and comfortable in the place where I sleep on a regular basis—and for me, being comfortable means being clean. Is this behavior life-altering? Not especially. Does it affect my relationships? Hardly. Do I think about it constantly? Not even close.
So what happens when these strange, embarrassing, and often unwarranted habits that some of us have become an obsession? When someone switches a light on and off repeatedly, an odd number of times, because in their mind doing so protects their child? Or when someone spends more time in the bathroom washing his or her hands than he or she spends interacting with the world? You probably know what it’s called: OCD. And though it’s fascinating, it’s no laughing matter.
I was bumming through my channels on Sunday, and just by chance came across the premiere episode of ‘The OCD Project’ on VH1. Much like my experience with the show ‘Hoarders,’ I couldn’t bring myself to change the channel. As I gathered from this first episode, the basis of ‘The OCD Project’ is to bring six very different people—all suffering from some severe form of OCD—together into one house to confront and overcome the compulsions that rule their lives. One woman has an extreme fear of HIV and other diseases. Another washes and sanitizes her hands hundreds of times a day. A grown man is tormented by his thoughts, convinced that he has the power to harm people with them. Each person has a story. Each person has a serious, all-consuming obsession. Each person seeks help and ultimately, change.
Enter Dr. David Tolin, a highly respected OCD expert and the driving force behind these participants’ extreme, results-driven treatment. Through a process known as Exposure Therapy, which involves repeated exposure to the harmful associations that trigger each patient’s harmful thoughts, and through shared experiences and the support of their housemates, these six individuals can, Tolin asserts, overcome their OCD and regain their lives.
While the disorder itself is fascinating, the inside look at the debilitating effects it has on real, caring, otherwise happy people is the main draw of ‘The OCD Project.’ I’m especially curious to see how the Exposure Therapy plays out; it sounds extreme and scary (especially for the patients), but clearly, drastic results are only brought on by drastic measures. I, for one, plan on watching every compelling (and undoubtedly heartbreaking) episode and cheering on these troubled individuals every painstaking step of the way.
You can tune in, too: ‘The OCD Project’ airs Thursdays at 10pm ET on VH1. Find it on DISH Network channel 162. If you don’t have DISH Network but would like to find out about their great packages, call Sterling Satellite at 1-800-299-5610.
