@therapistinrecovery: Reassurance seeking may seem innocent enough but it will absolutely feed the OCD cycle. It will be crucial for you to become aware of its nuances with your subtypes and develop ways to redirect, use your skills, and protect yourself from this sneaky strategy your ocd uses to get what it wants. This video is a great place to start. Follow for more ocd tips and content! #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdrecovery #ocdtok #reassurance #exposuretherapy

Can reassurance seeking be in the form of googling/researching?

So, could health anxiety and symptom checking/doctor visits actually be OCD?

That conditioning when you do get the reassurance… the goalpost just ends up moving

anddd i only trust the reassurance if it’s coming from an expert/empirical evidence/research. i never trust myself or just any random person.

My OCD has been re-triggered recently and I didn’t even realize it until I caught myself reassurance seeking. It’s so insidious

What about relationship OCD and needing the reassurance that your partner is faithful? There is tremendous relief when it’s given.

You can make a decision about eating food without having to know if it’s gone bad?

My daughter has OCD and emetophobia so the question of is this food good a very common question. How do you recommend we respond then?

I’m BAD about the “is this good still good” thing. I google , ask family , think back more than once on when I put in fridge. I’ll feel other items in fridge to make sure everything is still cold. It’s a whole thing.

Can OCD be linked with ADHD? My son also was diagnosed ASD however it’s very mild.

Do you offer virtual therapy sessions? I’ve tried several different therapists that really haven’t helped. One therapist had me doing EMDR and it felt like the biggest waste of time. I feel like none of them have understood OCD

I have literally lived the fact that not getting reassurance is helpful! I pivoted from healthcare operations to healthcare strategy 2 years ago. My boss literally said “get used to ambiguity, we live in the gray area”. We do our best with understanding demand, analytics, risk analysis, etc. but we never have a way to fully guarantee or validate our next move will be successful. It has challenged me in the best possible way to “care less” & be comfortable in the unknown. Almost like exposure therapy.
