@therapistinrecovery: If your OCD is telling you that you will be judged for your thoughts, please watch this video to completion. The first step to recovery is vulnerability. And anyone who works with or understands OCD will know that your symptoms are actually proof you care a lot! Because OCD is not about a desire to do the things your mind tells you. It’s actually proof that you really don’t want that! But because of how you are reacting to the intrusive thoughts (with too much energy and attempts to control what you can’t), it’s giving more power to this thought and creating a lot of confusion in your brain. And then you DO eventually lose control over aspects of those things that are really important to you. So please find an OCD or anxiety specialist. Share what’s happening. And organize the mess that OCD has created in your life. Therapy is a way to redistribute your energy in an appropriate way. And as a result you will experience a freedom so many of you are letting OCD convince you that you can’t achieve. #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #exposureresponseprevention #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocd #severeanxiety #anxietydisorder #pocd #rocd #harmocd #contaminationocd #ocdhelp #ocdawareness #ocdtips #ocdtiktok #ocdtok #ocdrecovery #ocdproblems #anxietyawareness #anxietytherapist #stigmafree #MentalHealthAwareness
