@davidjonesmental: 1. The reason your brain is always sabotaging you and attacking you is because it thinks that’s the best way to protect you. Your brain thinks it has to always convince you of whatever you’re the most against or view as the worst danger to make sure you always “protect” yourself from it. You must show your brain that confidence, good beliefs, and healing will better protect you and get you what you want more than the worry will. Then your brain will help you heal! 2. If you just accept your thoughts and feelings but still view them as something awful then your brain will still keep triggering them to protect you. You must change the meaning of them and show your brain they don’t mean anything bad, instead they can mean nothing or something good. Then you can actually not care if they get triggered and they will automatically go away. 3. You can never prove your way to certainty. But you can decide and memorize your way to certainty. You can be certain that you are deciding to believe something because it is worth it to you. Then the more you decide that the more you will actually start to believe it. 4. You are only a few beliefs away from all the freedom, healing, and life you want. You must teach your brain to believe these few beliefs and then you will heal at a core level in a way that just doing exposures or sitting in the thoughts and feelings never will. 5. You are so much more than just your brain. You never want to fight with your brain but if you just surrender to it then it will always have power over you. Instead you must learn to control your mind no matter what your brain says. Make that the bigger goal and you will take all the power back. 6. You can memorize your way to certainty. You must teach your brain to practice believing the good belief enough times that it becomes automatic and then you just have lasting certainty no matter what proof or feeling you have. 7. Fighting the OCD will never help. Instead you must change the meaning of it and decide what you want to trust non matter what it says. Then there is no fighting required. 8. Perfect healing is not a goal that creates freedom. It just creates lack. Instead make the power you have over your anything your brain can do to you the goal and then the healing will just naturally happen. #ocdawareness #ocdrecovery #ocdproblems #ocd #ocdlife
