@leokatiecbt: Reassurance can feel incredibly relieving when OCD is demanding certainty. You ask someone if everything is okay, check whether you made a mistake, or search for confirmation that your fear is not true - and for a moment, the anxiety drops. The problem is that the relief usually does not last. When reassurance becomes the response to every doubt, the brain can start learning that uncertainty is dangerous and that you need outside confirmation to feel safe. Breaking the cycle does not mean forcing yourself to feel certain. It means gradually practicing the ability to move forward even when certainty is unavailable. #ocd #reassuranceseeking #ocdrecovery #ocdawareness #erptherapy
