OCD Thoughts

[HMHMTH]

I have learned that intrusive constant thoughts are also a form of OCD. Just looking for any ones thoughts or advice on the topic. Thanks

I suffer from OCD intrusive thoughts.

Thus, the new technique that I am trying , is to let the OCD thought be there, but pushed into a corner.

There has to be no more discussion with the thought.

In the beginning there will be high anxiety, but it will get lesser.

The thought will slowly fade away.

We are leaving the thought just open, without giving any answers to it.

When I had taken therapy in the past, I was taught to sit with the feared consequences of the obsession, in a room, to try to focus on it.

Also, to write down the feared consequences on a paper, and keep reading it.

This way the anxiety reaches its maximum level.

Slowly, you will get desensitized to the feared consequences.

Thus, the anxiety will get lower.

I hope this helps.
