I’m not sure what this is classified as, but sometimes I’ll forget about an intrusive thought, say for a day or two. Then I’ll ‘reflect’ on my anxiety/Rocd and bring that thought back up, almost checking if the panicky feelings I had about that thought are still there or if I’m feeling chill and nonchalant about it. I sort of just want to forget about the image altogether because it disturbs me or make me uncomfortable. Do you have any ideas on what this is that I’m doing?
Plz could u tell me the proper way of doing exposure in pure o … should i continuously bring the thought or just for certain duration… ideal exposure time only.. response prevention i will do thanks
I would have to talk to you to get some more details about this. But you can use the maybe, maybe not technique. Whenever you get a thought, that bothers you, respond with maybe it will happen/it’s true, maybe not. This is accepting uncertainty and an example of exposure. Then you also have to practice response prevention by not doing anything about it or giving the thought attention as much as possible. It may take time, keep doing this over and over and over again.
@@MyOCDCoach thank you for your reply...what i mean to ask was ...in pure o ..for exposure ...should i bring in the thoughts deliberately in my mind or just do response prevention when the though comes to my mind automatically? basically is imaginal or on purpose exposure required in pure o ..or in pure o we are always in exposure (we dont have to do any any exposure in pure O???)...thanks
@@teaeyeyoung imaginal exposures are important for all ocd subsets. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t have physical compulsions. Most just aren’t aware of what they are.
@@salvohatteras8327 no. Everyone I’ve spoken with has at least a few physical compulsions, they just don’t know it. Most therapists don’t dig deep enough into the compulsions.
I know I made these mistakes, so they can always be corrected! How is your ERP practice going???
Thanks a lot🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the information !👍
You're welcome!

@@whitneyhoustonstan2472 that is a compulsion
@@MyOCDCoach is it sort of like a thought about the intrusive thought I had? By ruminating on a thought of a thought, I’m giving into a compulsion?
