I'm 76, and yes, OCD has stolen my life. Every day now is a severe struggle. My OCD manifests in a seemingly endless set of routines and fears. The number 13 has become a monster that I must constantly avoid, especially with my repetitious movements. I fear I've waited too long to seek help. Drugs are out of the question. I also have moderate Tourette Syndrome which only adds to my misery. The OCD is far worse than the TS. The TS and OCD feed on each other, the end result of which is a life that is increasingly becoming hell for me. I'm getting my health-care from the VA and will see a therapist tomorrow about my OCD-induced anxiety. I hope the VA has a structured treatment for OCD which doesn't include medications.
@tom cruise bolado -- Thank you for your encouragement. Some days my OCD is not so bad. Today was a good day for me. I consciously accepted my tapping and other rituals with the attitude, "It doesn't matter. No harm in tapping an odd number of times on the coffee table as I walk by it or kicking my right leg really high up as I walk." Then there are days when the rituals and compulsions drive me nuts. I know God has a reason for me being here. I never question His mysterious working. Again, thanks.
Does your OCD ever manifest as hyper-fixating on an image in your brain? I'm having obsessive dark thoughts during this episode of depression/anxiety attacks I'm going through. Wondering if you ever hyper-fixate on something too
@tom cruise bolado I think GAD, but I went through years fine. I also struggled with panic disorder. I don't know why it's suddenly back. Maybe the pandemic, suppressed stress, or long covid. I felt "off" before this episode popped up and I'm miserable.
You have a PERFECT WAY to EXPLAIN this miserable disorder !!MINE ? I HAVE NO OBVIOUS FEAR "FEELING...I HAVE an UNCOMFORTABLE feeling that DISTACTS the though I NEED to be doing and wastes my ability to enjoy life !!
Yes, į now living not comfortable 2 months būt it does not mean į live how į want live. Its mean OCD doing its own bad things withaut Control. I cant control my feelings and thinking proces and awareness. I live terible Life. With this stuff.
I am sure in fact all ocd sufferers including me turn of and on the light and do other repetitive actions not to make sure if its turned of or no, but to turn it on without horrifying thoughts.
Thanks so much mark ❤ I hav been suffering from ocd for two decades and I was meeting up psychiatrist, counselors and taking medication all along but no use at all. I was about to end my life coz it’s so hard. But now after viewing your video, I totally agree with what you said ocd is a feeling issue and has to be cleared off by subconscious treatment. I’ll book a hypnosis therapist asap and hopefully I get a good one who can heal my severe ocd. Mark, pls continue to produce more videos for us coz you are the greatest guy I hav ever seen who are so intelligent motivating and smart 😊
I'm from Melbourne Australia, I've been dealing with Severe OCD for quite a while, Reassurance, Contamination Compulsions Trust Issues Doubts which took away my fulltime job and my whole life essentially. I've booked myself in for an Appointment for Hypnotherapy so i cant wait, Fingers Crossed. My Psychiatrist told me that doing this would be a waste of time but i dont care, I'm doing whats best for me and give it my all. Hope you're well man stay strong! I'm with ya.
Daniel, I’m sorry to learn that your therapist discouraged you from seeing a hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy can be extremely effective, because it bypasses the ego and reaches the subconscious where all feelings and memories are stored. How were your results with your hypnotherapist? 🤞
This is a useful perspective. I’m trained in both hypnosis and ERP, exposure and response prevention, and I have found ERP very powerful. Mark, would you say that ERP is a form of hypnosis?
OCD is wild. I hate it. However my therapist told me to try hypnotherapy but what if it turns out that i am a hortible person? I am afraid of doing it.
I have ocd but i don't relate to rituals feeling like being out of space. I never feel relaxed during the rituals instead i am fully alert.(relaxation comes only after the ritual) Maybe I misunderstood what you mean by feeling out of space.
I actually don't know, but maybe something similar to Mario Volpstein's website exposes the closest thing there is to rotating back the hands of time. Maybe try googliing him to verify if it would be an approach that seems reasonable to you personally too.

@tom cruise bolado Sorry you know the feeling. My anxiety keeps everything going in a loop and I'm exhausted. I just want to be sedated at this point
@tom cruise bolado I think GAD, but I went through years fine. I also struggled with panic disorder. I don't know why it's suddenly back. Maybe the pandemic, suppressed stress, or long covid. I felt "off" before this episode popped up and I'm miserable.
@tom cruise bolado What about you? And how are you currently

Keep looking, try dr. Joe dizpeza, he might know, good luck.
Look up dr. Joe dispeza.

Agreed 👍
That's it! Horrifying thoughts. It just doesn't make any damn sense to have those compulsions when others are free of them.
@@Dr.Pepper001 Does your OCD also come up during anxiety attacks? I've been hyperfixated on a dark thought and feel like I'm losing my mind.

Please show part of a hypnotic session.

Sorry that i answer instead but I do not think that ERP is hypnosis, it's part of CBT. And you are very aware while doing ERP.
Please don’t tell me that means erotic role play...
@@mysticresearchlabs dude...
I'm being funny, I know it dosn't.
Give full demo of OCD hypnosis done for frequent hand washers.nice vdo.dr raj

Thinking you are "horrible" is just another ocd thought
Mira Avelia thinking you are "horrible" is just another ocd thought. If you are truly bothered you will get help. Ocd sucks.

nothing to lose by finding a good therapist. i would never judge the people I help.
Hey, did you try hypnotherapy?
Very wise
I have ocd but i don't relate to rituals feeling like being out of space. I never feel relaxed during the rituals instead i am fully alert.(relaxation comes only after the ritual) Maybe I misunderstood what you mean by feeling out of space.
Yea me too
Hello, how effective is hypnotherapy? Does it fully cure OCD?
Hi! Would you use this technique for ROCD as well?
Can you do a video on sensorimotor ocd eg thinking always about how much saliva you have. Thinking about it seems to increase the amount. Thank you.
Hi do you have a video of hypnosis of ocd please ?
I actually don't know, but maybe something similar to Mario Volpstein's website exposes the closest thing there is to rotating back the hands of time. Maybe try googliing him to verify if it would be an approach that seems reasonable to you personally too.
Hiya would you be able to arrange hypnosis sessions over videocall?
How much "trans-out" and "on-the-zone" are close? Aren't extremely successful people OCD on refining their craft?
OCD is not an adjective or EVER positive. Fuck off.
So horrible. I hate it😭😭
