@therapistinrecovery: Anything can become a compulsion or avoidance when we try to control something we can’t. And this is certainly true with “coping skills”. Anything we do has to be attached to a valued intention that is within our control or we just get more stuck. Oh the paradoxes of mental health! #moderntherapy #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdtherapy #anxietytok
So like… if you have OCD, you have to be careful with coping skills because they can become compulsions?

Like most of the coping skills my therapist gave me (she’s amazing) , turned into compulsions for me because of my ocd , didn’t realize at the time. Now ERP is changing my life!

Your videos are very helpful. Are you on any other platforms, like instagram? I have friends that don’t use TikTok. Thanks for your knowledge.

So….thinking of coping skills as more of tools to help you (you/ your brain/ your body) sit with, acknowledge, and experience, the emotional highs, and lows of life versus running from or controlling our reactions to the emotional highs and lows.
