@therapistinrecovery: Spoiler alert but if you’re asking the question its probably OCD. And listen, everyone’s OCD is valid, but valid doesn’t mean helpful. So ANYTIME you’re in question about whether a thought or urge should be acted (aka compulsed on), air on the side of your neglected values. Which usually means NOT doing the compulsion and instead focusing on the values that your ocd neglects. Or at the very least WAITING, using my ocd steps (in previous videos), and/or minimizing compulsive responses to the degree you can. If you truly want to heal, this is well worth the “risk” of your thought being “right”. #ocdtok #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #rocd #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #exposuretherapy
