@theanxiousacademy: Hyperawareness can be exhausting, especially when your attention keeps returning to something you never used to give a second thought to. And once you've become frightened of that awareness, it's easy to spend much of your day wondering why you can't stop noticing it. The work involves changing how you respond to that awareness and the thoughts that come along with it. You can practise directing your attention elsewhere without needing to make sure the awareness has gone away first. If you're looking for help with this, reach out via DM for therapy. 📩 Relevant searches hyperawareness OCD sensorimotor OCD recovery how to stop being aware of breathing hyperawareness of thoughts constantly noticing bodily sensations how to stop focusing on blinking hyperawareness anxiety recovery sensorimotor obsessions visual snow hyperawareness how to stop monitoring my thoughts #anxiety #ocd #intrusivethoughts #dpdr #anxietyrecovery
