Fantabulous As always Nick! The Recovery from Sensorimotor OCD requires a lot more inclination towards acceptance rather than exposures and giving too much importance to the sensation itself
My biggest reassurance/compulsive statements about my breathing OCD is that I'll breath in another way like keeping my mouth open or by using the tongue to kind of make the air flow so that i wouldn't have to notice that constant pumping of air through my nostrils and feeling that pressure inside my neck when we breath in the most common way
hey what are the number of worries u have like breathing,blinking .Can u tell me for what time u had those worries and how much time u had each worry (like breathing,blinking).
Absolutely! It's really good you caught that! I see this all the time working with sensorimotor sufferers. Those self - reassuring statements that are so sneaky.
Another one I get is brain fog and real difficulty articulating my thoughts cause my head is so heavy. Words just don’t flow naturally and I feel that head discomfort too often. Being like this forever would suck
Hey! Yes, it wouldn't be fun, for sure, but you can definitely break down some of the hatred towards it. I thought I couldn't either.
What's sucky about it? Usually it comes to fear of embarrassment/shame etc. Also if you type in "brain fog OCD recovery" in the TH-cam search bar, you'll find a video by Kirsty on brain fog too on this channel.
Thank you Nick. Great vid
You're very welcome John! I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Ty had no idea 5% exposures - so belief! ❤
Hey nick I can see myself progressing towards unconditional life acceptance and I am getting better day by day. I am having better days now.
Can you make one video on how to hold on to your new belief and make it sustainable for lifetime?
Absolutely! That's a great video idea.
That also sounds like a question coming from a place of fear. "What if I relapse, what if I'm not able to accept forever". Life comes with ups and downs, OCD or not. Accepting the ups and downs is important too. Key is to stay persistent.
@@mominmasood Completely agreeing with your comments...These things are coming from fear only...
Yes I would appreciate this too! I find after a while my belief starts to creep back to doubting again and I’d love to know how to hold on to it like Danish Khan says
Great info. Ty.
You're very welcome Igor! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi nick hope you’re well. You mention in this video you will be making a video more focused on hyper awareness of consciousness and thoughts which is what I suffer with. Have you done this vid yet and if so which one is it? If not, no worries I will hang on for it 😊
Brilliant thankyou nick
Hi Nick, thank you so much for your videos they’ve been helping me greatly. I have a question that I hope you have time to help me with. I finally understand one of the core fears of my breathing ocd and it’s the worry that I’m breathing too much. Do you have any advice on how to get over that fear? I don’t care if I breath too little and the awareness isn’t that much anxiety inducing anymore. It’s the fear of unknowingly/knowingly breathing too much… hyperventilating scares me
Hey AJ! So I would first look at one of two things, A) is there a fear relating to breathing to much and or causing a health problem B) Could the primary fear still be noticing your breathe, manually, forever. It could be combination of both! Leaning into those sensations fully without needing an answer whether we are breathing too much is KEY!
@@aguywhohikes1271 Thank you very much Nick, I can’t express how much I’ve learned and grown from watching your videos. Thank you for the response and I will learn to live with uncertainty. You are the man!
@@aguywhohikes1271 but how you're supposed to do it if when you think about it you start hyperventilating?
Could you please still do the consciousness OCD video. I have this after a really bad weed experience that caused depersonalisation
Hy nick i am hyperaware of my chewing and swallowing i think i forgot how to chew and swallow i always swallow manually with my awareness because of that i fear so much i avoid to eat many dishes,foods,fruits etc it created fear of choking to me whenever i eat food i became so much fearful and aware of it my jaw,neck,chest muscles becomes so tight i can't eat food that i need to eat it's 2 months please help me i cant enjoy and eat food i became so hungry my family is also suffering because of me🥺
My biggest fear is my sensimotor ocd won't let me sleep and that insomnia could harm or kill me.
Same here
Try psilocybin
How are you doing now
@@monikamoni3975how are you doing now
@@hamidhislam1334 not bad, ocd is still there but i'm not that much bothered by it
Hello, i tend to latch on sounds when i want to fall asleep and am afraid it causes me insomnia. Is this sensory motor too? I used to not have this problem but now im even scared if i listen to the fan sound. Please help me.
hi nick i want to know how much time does it took for an average ocd mind to shift there attention / worries from like breathing to blinking or from blinking to other body sensations .For me the focus of worrying (i.e body sensations) change every 2-3 days.Can u tell me what was ur period it genearally took to change ur focus of worry.
Hey Div. This will look different for everyone. I work with people where it switches daily to people like my self where one stayed latched for 2-3 years straight.
can someone has these types of thoughts like being general anxiety
@@div9971 Absolutely!
@AGuyWhoHikes i doubt i have ocd or not just want to know does doing compulsion give a noticeable sense of relief ,i dont see myself doing any compulsion
@@div9971 So when it comes to these fears sometimes there aren't a lot of compulsions that are visible. A lot of it is based off the fear itself!
I can't afford your package of ocd but I need help with sensorimotor ocd
If it’s not exposure. It’s wearing that uncomfortable jacket. But that’s exposure in itself no? You expose yourself not on purpose but that’s just how the Brain operates right? Could you help answer that?
Terrific video as usual Nick. Thank you. I developed OCD 3 months ago and without your videos i am pretty sure i would have gone crazy :)
Quick question: Did you every try Acceptance and Commitment Therapy? When you start searching for OCD a lot of the ressources mention ACT and recommend that whenever your intrusive thoughts / sensations pop up throughout the day, that you "accept" them by telling yourself something like "i accept my intrusive thought/sensations..." - that sounds very compulsive to me though. Since i just started the the ocd recovery journey (thanks to your videos) a lot of the times i am still not sure when i do something if it is compulsive or not.
Hey Buddy! I am really happy to hear my videos have been helpful :-) So yes, ACT principles have a lot of applicability when it comes to OCD/ anxiety recovery, but usually OCD sufferers need more depth when it comes to acceptance.
