@therapistinrecovery: As a therapist who specializes in OCD and addiction, I am a firm believer that recovery is a value, not a goal. When we learn to see it this way, we are able to practice acceptance and we experience a freedom from frustration, unrealistic expectations, and on our best days we can even celebrate the beauty and the struggle. I hope you all will take this message to heart and please let me know if it resonates for you and of course, give me a like and a follow if you want to see more. #recoverytok #ocdawareness #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #WeDoRecover #selfgrowthjourney
I needed this so much. I’m new at healing this. But There has been a few times when I feel that I’m “getting” better and the anxiety grabs to something else even stronger … more fear , more anxiety… I try to not engage and when the feeling passes a little bit, I get so depressed thinking I’m weak or have to start all over again. And I feel so sad that I’m never going to feel peace again.

This. I needed this. It has reminded me of how far I have come. Yes I have bad days and I will forever but I now have the strength to sit with it and set my boundaries with people. A bad day isn’t failure or just being kind to myself on that day and giving myself grace. I wouldn’t have done this before my diagnosis. Your content is so so helpful thank you x

This is an important point. Every human being, regardless of mental status, is never really “finished” evolving, learning and growing. It’s a lifelong process to become a better, more peaceful person.
