Hot take: Traditional talk/supportive therapy does

Hot take: Traditional talk/supportive therapy doesn’t do much for OCD.

In fact, talk therapy can actually make OCD symptoms worse because the person with OCD may use therapy as a source of reassurance OR because the therapist may unintentionally cause harm or shame to the person due to not knowing about OCD.

If you have (or think you could have OCD), try and find a therapist who uses ERP, ICBT, and ACT as their primary approach.

Types of magical thinking:

Thought-Action Fusion (if I think it, it is more likely to occur OR thinking it is just as bad as doing it.)

Thought-Object Fusion (Thoughts and feelings are transferred to objects. Ex: “I thought about death while I was holding this cup so now this cup=death.”

Fortune Telling- (This related to over responsibility. “If I think it, I am responsible for preventing it from happening. If I don’t do anything and the bad thing happens, it’s my fault.”)

1. I did nothing. Thoughts are just thoughts. There’s no need to “read into” them or overly identify with them.

2. I said “that would suck” and moved on with my day (google non-engagement responses for OCD)

3. I took action-based steps towards my values and goals.

Did you know that OCD latch onto relationships❔

Did you know that OCD latch onto relationships❔

This is called R-OCD & it’s more common than you think! 💕💍💒👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♀️

This post is focused on romantic relationships, but OCD can latch onto other types of relationships as well (pets, friends, colleagues, family members)

👇Here are some of the many ways relationship OCD can manifest👇

🤍 Obsessional doubts about if your partner is “the one.”

🤍Intrusive thoughts or urges to break up with your partner.

🤍Trying to know if you’re attracted to your partner “for certain.”

🤍Hyper-focusing on a partner’s body part and worrying you don’t find it attractive (ex: their ears, feet, eyebrows.)

🤍Intrusive thoughts about you or your partner cheating.

🤍Compulsively saying “I love you” or requesting your partner give you 24/7 reassurance of their feelings about you.

🤍Avoiding going out with your friends for fear you will “accidentally cheat.”

🤍 Using sex as a compulsion (for ex: reassurance seeking.)

🤍 Needing your relationship to be “perfect.”

‼️Please note, these experiences can happen in relationships without OCD, it becomes OCD when these questions, worries, and behaviors become excessive, time consuming, and cause distress‼️

OCD & the need for certainty ⬇️

Doubt about ourselves, the world, and others fuels OCD 💭🧠

OCD tells us that we must gain absolute certainty in order to find relief from our obsessions. This is bull$h!t! 🤬

Relief comes from acceptance of the things we cannot control, learning we can tolerate distress, embracing the uncertainty, and movement towards the things we value. 🌻

“There’s nothing I can do, not much I can chan

“There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change, so I give it up to you. I surrender”

I’ve always found this @mitskileaks song to be comforting when I am struggling with uncertainty and anxiety.

It serves as a good reminder that we must release our grip on what we cannot control in order to find comfort and peace. 🤍

What songs bring you solace?

Intrusive thoughts are just thoughts! Unfortunatel

Intrusive thoughts are just thoughts! Unfortunately we often attach meaning, significance, or moral value to them. This makes the thoughts MORE powerful and pervasive.

Scroll for 3 tips to manage intrusive thoughts ⬇️

1️⃣ Sing your thoughts out loud to the tune of your favorite song 🎵

2️⃣ Come up with an even more disturbing and outlandish thought 💭🔪

3️⃣ Remind yourself that your thoughts are JUST thoughts! You can do this by saying “I’m having the thought that _____.”

1. OCD is often associated with cleaning or a need

1. OCD is often associated with cleaning or a need for symmetry/order. In reality, OCD can attach to anything that involves doubt and uncertainty. Common themes include (religion, health, harm, contamination, relationships, physical sensations, attraction, morals, etc. )

2. Despite the misinformation about OCD, it can be treated with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy or Inference Based CBT. Recovery is possible!

3. Many people with OCD go years before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Many people are misdiagnosed with anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, and mood disorders.
