Rational versus Irrational

3 Replies

Recently, I have been obsessing what I had said to my husband about a particular topic, by doubting, that he has the wrong information.

In the beginning, when the thought came, the anxiety was very high, for the next few days.

But now I have been able to differentiate about what the rational reality is about.

I am just leaving the irrational doubt of OCD at its own place, and not arguing with it.

I think it seems to be working on the OCD.

Of course, OCD kept giving me more doubts, when it saw that it was not winning anymore.

But I tried to use the same approach of rational versus irrational.

I hope this technique helps.

It seems like my new technique has worked so far on an obsession.

We have to just keep trying different things.
