    What is an effective treatment for OCPD?

    I have been diagnosed with OCPD and perfectionism. My need for order, control and my inability to tolerate uncertainty has really limited my enjoyment and experience of life. I particularly struggle to make decisions and engage in copious research, excessive rumination of options and often end up not choosing at all. The diagnosing practitioner also suggested that my perfectionism evolved as a coping strategy during my traumatic childhood (witnessing family violence). I have tried to address my perfectionistic thinking using cognitive challenges but to no avail. I am at a loss as to what to do next. Can anyone suggest an effective way to treat OCPD? I am under no illusions that I can rid myself of it entirely, but I do hope that I can bring it under control and limit its effect on my life. Thanks in advance.
