This is my second video I've watched and it has been extremely helpful. Struggling with a little postpartum OCD and really loving your videos. Thank you for the work that you do!
Thanks mate! I was mowing the lawn, listening to this video, and it just really flicked a switch for me. Thank you for making it as these are some important ideas I haven't encountered before in treatment.
Hi , I was doing this Cognition intervention from long time to stop catastrophic OCD thoughts. But just remember it's not a quick fix . You won't be relieved straight away , but good step to sense what is reality and what is your imaginative amOCD disorder . It's like some of steps from 4R steps from book brain lock. But when anxiety is sticky and high you will end up repeating things in a compulsive way Aware of that
How would this work with memory based OCD, especially based on something someone said about you? I sometimes don’t know whether the “false” memory that feels extremely real is real and I’m obsessively doubting it, or if the “false” memory is me doubting my innocence and thus, I should doubt it
A great example of real knowledge I picked up from a colleague. Ask yourself if you know whether or not you need to sneeze right now. That's a great example of simple, real knowledge.
@@OCDspace412 Sometimes this iteration the false memory feels effortless and realistic though and it takes more effort to deny it, although using I-CBT, I know it cognitively stems from a long line of other iterations and being changed dramatically based on “what ifs” and imagination and paranoia about if I did the thing/if I was capable of somehow doing the thing and forgetting, and I still go back and fourth. If I remember correctly It was originally effortless to say it didn’t happen but then I spiraled into imagining in an intrusive way how it could have happened and being like “am I capable of doing this awful thing?” And than it snowballing from there.
Absolutely. Any "reasons" or causes you have in your mind for why you should doubt yourself, your perceptions, your senses, your common sense, etc. are incredibly important to identify. OCD loves to remove all context and nuance from the situation and rely on a bunch of generalized, blanket arguments about you "in general." It's important to notice how none of the OCD "reasons" every apply to you in the present moment context. And, ultimately, you don't have to doubt yourself, and can actually trust yourself.
I am wondering if anyone has explored medical treatment for OCD. Is there any evidence for medications prescribed by a doctor or the use of plant medicine/psychedelics in being able to reduce symptoms?

All of the work and effort and going back and forth is often a clear sign it's OCD. Real knowledge is usually immediate and simple.

Can gaslighting cause the years of doubt which leads to or contributes to ocd

Medications definitely help for many.
Check out methylation and the Walsh protocol.
