@therapistinrecovery: OCD and anxiety do have an important message for us, but the message is not the one OCD directly shares. It’s the message underneath, the message about what matters to us. The paradox, is if we blindly follow our OCD and anxiety urges, we will sabotage that value and the anxiety will come back stronger. So instead, we must be intentional about listening for the value and acting on it in an effective way. Would love to know your thoughts on this if you have OCD or anxiety as I have realized this was crucial to helping me and my clients heal in a purpose driven way. #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #relationshipocd #healthanxiety #harmocd
These make total sense to me- but tell me why I absolutely CAN NOT be late! For anything. Like I will arrive everywhere so early that cognitively, I understand that I’m technically *wasting* time being so early to EVERYTHING. I also CAN NOT be late to pick up girls from daycare- to the point of tears! This was breaking point to ask my PCP for a referral to get diagnosed, currently waiting on it

this is so helpful. people say a lot that with ocd you have to align to your values & i struggled to understand how to apply it. THIS framing helped so much
