HEAVY on “includes chat gpt” !!! Struggled with using it for reassurance seeking myself, and see lots of clients use it for this as well!

This is so important, traditional talk therapy made my ocd SO much worse before I found an ocd specialist for therapy

having decision / rumination OCD and trying to treat it feels like I'm being gaslight out of my own preferences and priorities

I have a really tough time forgiving my partner’s former therapist for not being OCD-informed and thus just affirming the shit out of her obsessions and being like “yeah what you’re feeling is justified.” Like, that’s malpractice. It’s just so common that no one is being held accountable for it.

How will we ever know if what we are doing is co compulsing or not 😭😭😭. Because seeking reassurance in so many ways is normal and human?!

Sunshine :
My 10 year old has OCD and he co-compulses with me by constantly seeing reassurance and checking in about the smallest details. It’s exhausting 😢

I had these with a former partner—asking the same questions over and over. They were really good about disengaging with humor. Answering with, “why, are you a cop?” “That is a secret” “I plead the fifth!” Acknowledging they heard me without answering the question.

I feel like I have coped with my OCD extremely well for the most part, but the sticking point for me is my health OCD because I have had real health issues and they definitely run in my family. striking the balance between logical concern and research and OCD tendencies is unbelievably difficult.

It took me until I was about 38 to realize that straight talk therapy was just a cycle of OCD rumination for me . I loved my therapist but for me personally talk therapy is probably the worst thing for me at the time. It’s so hard on the people in our life to set those boundaries because it feels so embarrassing to be told hey, you’re doing it again, but that’s one of the first steps at least for me of breaking the pattern.

I realize now how true this is. However, it is hard to find a specialist that accepts insurance.

Jasmine Castillo :
What if you just reach out to loved ones for support because you’re struggling? I just called my family because I’m struggling and having a really hard time with my mental health. I just needed someone to know what I’m going through and wanted someone to talk to so I feel less alone. Is that a compulsion?

TJ :
What about people who have OCD around suicidal ideation. They need reasurance and constant conversation that they have control of their own life. How do you support this kind of person? How is that treated? What about planning OCD? Where the plan of how to do any task has to be discussed at length before ever doing the task?

I have so many clients with varying degrees of OCD and I'm wondering now how often I'm doing this with them. My instinct is always to challenge the thought but does this make it worse?

Lindz lens & the tiny terriers :
so if you're a friend of a person that's doing this, what's the best way we can help and not feed into it?

The Morrigan :
Why would my ocd therapists tell me to push through emotional flooding, hyperventilating, and shut downs during exposures?
