If you are or a loved one is experiencing OCD, there is hope. Visit learn.nocd.com/YT to get started with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective therapy for OCD. Every NOCD Therapist undergoes in-depth training and testing before seeing our members. It's what sets us apart.
Recogizing the pattern of the thought from ocd rather than its meaning helps us to discern its lies. Adequate sleep, proper stress management and avoiding substance abuse goes a long way strengthen ourselves against battle with ocd. Like in a battle, we win because we are aware of every strategy of the opponent to achieve this victory. I'm very thankful to my family for finally understanding what is ocd and being compassionate and loving during my darkest hours.
This is one of the best OCD-related interviews I have seen. She is so honest and good at explaining her feelings and thoughts. I thank you both so much or doing this.
These conversations are really good, only recently been learning about OCD and piecing together stuff I've experienced. The stuff about being nice to yourself is also very true, this stuff makes you feel responsible for the dumbest most ridiculously unrealistic stuff.
Thank you so much, for this podcast. I'm learning so much from the guests and their own experiences with anxiety and ocd. I feel so good listening to them, it's like someone giving you a hug. And telling you that it's all okay, I understand all the crazy mess you are going through. As you said , hearing it from someone who knows it feels just so different than listening to therapists talking of their own knowledge. Thank you for creating this very informative and powerful space. I liked all the interviews that have been posted so far. You guys give information , paid therapists couldn't give me. Can't wait for the next episode ❤
It resonates so much which what I've experience with ocd. Thank you for sharing in such great depth and the reality that it's a life long fight because those nasty thoughts will not go away till we give it ZERO value. And this process requires education, community support and personal hard work. Thank you Cami, Dr Patrick & NOCD
Education, community support and personal hard work are all powerful things and can be huge factors in your OCD journey! So glad you enjoyed this podcast❤
It’s wild to me how complex and intricate OCD is, and can be. Prior to my diagnosis, I never knew how deeply rooted OCD can be into your life and have no idea, especially if you don’t present with the typical “OCD” symptoms like ‘being a germaphobe’ or ‘I love cleaning”
Well sometimes I think about something I gotta do at this time , or at this other time or this day at this time . And these are some of the thoughts that go in spirals and feel so horrible sometimes . Until I get to that time where finally I either get a task done or can now do what I was anticipating .. and I do compulsions of ruminating about that thing I gotta do in the future before it gets to that time frame.
