Private OCD Treatment in Spain

Specialist one-to-one care for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), delivered in a luxury, non-institutional setting — with evidence-based therapy, emotional regulation support, and co-occurring addiction treatment tailored to your individual needs.

Living with OCD can feel like being held hostage by your own thoughts. Whether it's compulsive checking, intrusive fears, or relentless rituals, the internal pressure is exhausting — even when everything looks “fine” on the outside. At Sea Recovery, we offer private, tailored OCD treatment in Spain that goes beyond symptom control to help you uncover what’s driving the anxiety beneath.

In a peaceful coastal setting, you’ll receive one-to-one therapy, nervous system support, and guidance to rebuild your sense of autonomy and inner calm. Many of our clients come to us after years of high-functioning struggle, secrecy, and shame. This is a space where you can finally let go — and begin again, safely.

What Is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health condition involving intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions or rituals (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety or “neutralise” perceived harm. It’s not just about being tidy or organised — OCD is often tormenting, isolating, and emotionally draining.

Common symptoms include:

• Repetitive checking (doors, stoves, locks)
• Fear of contamination and compulsive cleaning
• Counting, tapping, or repeating words to prevent harm
• Obsessions around morality, safety, religion, or sexuality
• Need for symmetry, order, or exactness
• Constant reassurance-seeking

These behaviours are rarely “quirks” — they often consume hours of a person’s day, causing guilt, exhaustion, or social withdrawal. At Sea Recovery, we address both the compulsions and the emotional pain that drives them.

Subtypes of OCD We Commonly Treat

OCD presents differently for everyone. Some people suffer in silence with mental compulsions and internal rituals no one can see. Others hide their symptoms behind high achievement or control. At Sea Recovery, we have experience supporting:

• Contamination OCD (germs, illness, cleaning rituals)
• Checking OCD (doors, appliances, safety)
• Pure-O / Intrusive Thought OCD (sexual, religious, harm-based obsessions with mental compulsions)
• Symmetry / Ordering OCD
• Relationship OCD (ROCD)
• Somatic OCD (hyper-awareness of bodily sensations)

No matter your presentation, our treatment is always personalised, private, and grounded in deep emotional understanding.

When OCD Coexists with Addiction or Trauma

Many clients come to us with dual diagnosis — OCD alongside substance use, trauma, anxiety, or depression. Obsessive thoughts can become so distressing that clients turn to alcohol, prescription drugs, or behavioural addictions (like gambling or workaholism) to self-medicate or numb the internal pressure.

We understand the crossover. Our clinical team integrates addiction treatment and trauma-informed care into your recovery plan, ensuring you’re supported at every level — mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Therapies We Use to Treat OCD

There is no one-size-fits-all model for OCD recovery. That’s why all therapy at Sea Recovery is one-to-one, customised to your experience, and delivered in a calm, private environment. You’ll work with world-class clinicians trained in:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — the gold standard for OCD, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for breaking compulsive cycles
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) — to help regulate overwhelming emotion, tolerate uncertainty, and improve relational boundaries
• ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) — to build mental flexibility and reduce fusion with obsessive thoughts
• Identity and self-worth therapy — to address internalised shame, control, and fear of failure
• Mindfulness and body-based therapy — to stabilise the nervous system and ease somatic responses to fear

Your sessions may also include art therapy, breathwork, or other expressive modalities to process feelings that words alone can’t reach.

High-Functioning OCD: When No One Sees It

Many clients we treat are “high-functioning.” You may excel at work, maintain relationships, and appear calm — while secretly battling obsessive thoughts, compulsions, or mental exhaustion. You might hide your rituals, rationalise your routines, or believe you “should” be able to control it.

We know how isolating that can feel. At Sea Recovery, you don’t have to justify your pain. Your experience is valid — and you deserve help without being minimised or misunderstood.

Why Control and Safety Are Central to OCD

OCD is often rooted in an overwhelming fear of harm, guilt, or loss of control. Compulsions develop as a survival strategy — a way to feel safe in an unpredictable world. But over time, these rituals create more anxiety than they relieve.

Our therapy addresses this need for safety at its source. Through emotional exploration, boundary work, and identity support, we help you learn to live without the illusion of control — and find peace in uncertainty.

Long-Term Recovery and Aftercare Support

• Relapse prevention and life skills coaching — to navigate stress, uncertainty, and daily challenges
• Lifetime aftercare support — including remote therapy, accountability sessions, and structured check-ins
• Optional booster retreats or follow-up intensives at Sea Recovery

Our goal is not just short-term relief — it’s long-term emotional freedom and resilience.
