I don't know if you take advice for future videos, but, I think I have an interesting one to look into: Why is main character of nearly every type of story, media, book, or movie always a single child? Very rarely I see or hear any mention of the protagonist's siblings or family.
A lot of ocd comes in themes like relationship ocd where ppl obsess over if they might cheat even tho they don’t want to because it’s the last thing they want so the anxiety makes them fixate on it ur video implies that they have the ocd because it is what they want to do but can’t admit it
Indeed, that can be the case. Let's say you're pathologically obsessed with the idea that you might die in your sleep. In such case, you internally wish that you do die in your sleep, because then you won't have to face the uncertainty of it happening or not happening. People don't become obsessed with something completely irrelevant: Usually, it tends to be something that holds a certain appeal to them and is later consciously denied but persists in the unconscious. Why would you be afraid that you might cheat if it's something that never even crossed your mind before? Human psyche can be very peculiar: Sometimes, the stronger the denial, the stronger the desire. OCD is living in between, which is what I explained in my previous reply and in the video, too: Two forces are pulling you apart, and there are only two options to release the tension: A temporary or a finite one.
@@FictionPsychology someone would be afraid to cheat because they value their partner so much they wouldn’t want to hurt them so then the anxiety of even for a fraction they could causes them to obsess because it’s the exact opposite of that they want to do
@@FictionPsychology here’s a quote from an ocd specialist “Anxiety and OCD take the things we cherish most, and twist them into upsetting intrusive thoughts.” It’s not something that appeals to ppl but the opposite
Ocd is when an intrusive thought (the obsession) is constantly happening and causing intense anxiety when it shouldn’t then the person performs a ritual physical or mental(the compulsion) ur video has a lot of myths as well as just untrue things. The intrusive thoughts usually don’t have any meaning and are why the anxiety happens because the mind is trying to give it meaning the most effective treatment for ocd is exposure therapy and letting the thoughts just pass training ur brain to realize that they have no actual meaning and that you don’t have to do the compulsive behavior
Individual psychology isn't always straightforward; each case is different. In my videos, I analyse the causes that normally tend to be the case. One cannot state that intrusive thoughts don't have any meaning. They have something in common with dreams. It's a way the unconscious communicates with the conscious, and repetition only means emphasis and urgency. The problem of OCD lies in engaging in compulsion rather than uprooting the obsession. It's an escape. The anxiety arises because of the conflict this produces: The unconscious is trying to prompt the person to resolve the repressed, but the conscious attitude pushes back against it and runs from it. One can clearly see the pressure that needs to be released somehow, and that's where compulsion comes in. It's very interesting, because the whole situation is somewhat semi-conscious: It's as if the person almost knew the reason of the whole conflict. Exposure therapy is based on slowly submerging the person in his individual fears. This means exactly what I was talking about: Meeting the shadow head-on. The process isn't necessarily about understanding the nature of the obsession, but rather unlocking the repression. The way each individual achieves that differs.
@@FictionPsychology a lot of that is armchair psychology and can be harmful in further stigmatizing ocd with misconceptions about what the intrusive thoughts mean and most of the times it’s just that intrusive thoughts the themes about them differ but the distress arises from the fact that they don’t coincide with one’s character I suffer from different subsets of ocd and see a specialist I’m just saying that ur video positions ocd as If the obsessions r based on the character of the person and that they’re just dying their true self which is usually the opposite

Thanks for this video. I found it informative.

I found you not long ago, you are severely undersubbed.
Hope you branch out on other platforms too so you grow and expand your reach.
