Psychotherapy and brain activity

People don't choose obsessive compulsive disorders and brain patterns. We're born with a tendency for certain traits. But we're not helpless robots.

We can choose to alter our brains through psychotherapy and habit to

mitigate OCD patterns.

Our brains are plastic for a reason: so we can interact with our environments and respond creatively and in concert with our society. Carrie described this well recently on her blog. An excellent argument for surrounding ourselves with, and nurturing, healthy and caring people.
