Thank you Doberman38 😊
Im sorry to hear that you are going through OCD I understand how difficult it can be to manage unless you have been taught how to ……
Im one of the lucky ones to have received the correct treatment so that I could recover and stay in recovery….
OCD for me was like living in an internal hell it was such a horrible cruel condition to go through…. I’m really sorry you are going through it but please know if you ever need support or have any questions I’m here to help you.
The therapy I did is like the one that you are wanting to do…… mine was an intervention into the OCD it was a planned therapy and I had homework to do through out the 8 weeks of therapy….. I learned many skills in my therapy…. Skills I credit to me being able to disengage from the vicious OCD cycle. It took time and practice to master these skills but now that I have I am flying and if I can there’s hope that you can aswell.
In my therapy I learned what was keeping me in the vicious cycle of OCD and then how to disengage from it.
The therapy I did was meta cognitive therapy it was a group therapy, the therapy was run by trainees at a university and overseen by a doctor.
We also did meditation as part of our therapy I believe the meditation I learned got me over the line I learned that I’m not my thoughts but the watcher of my thoughts.
Have you ever tried meditation?
