Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, characterized by unwanted and distressing intrusive thoughts, images, urges, doubts and ideas or sensations and repetitive mental or behavioral acts, which is regarded as an overwhelming mental disorder. Over the past few years, several studies have indicated how mindfulness-based interventions may be effectively used to remediate Obsessive-Compulsive symptoms based on which such methods are endorsed as effective complementary or alternative options to remediate this disorder. The present pilot investigation assessed the effectiveness of Geometric Meditation-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a novel integrated approach to help Obsessive-Compulsive symptoms. Accordingly, an eight-week treatment program (90-minute sessions per week) in a single case of interactable Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder was found to result in a significant reduction in obsessive and compulsive symptoms, anxiety and depression as well as increased mindfulness skills and subsequent secondary outcomes. A three-month post treatment follow-up suggested long-lasting beneficial effects. Such a pilot model may receive further endorsement as a holistic CBT approach for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
