OCD Technique

The technique of relabeling a thought as OCD does work eventually.

Recently, an old obsession came back, and I was struggling for few days, trying to relabel it as OCD.

After few days of struggle, now whenever the thought comes, I keep consistent about relabeling it as an OCD doubt.

In the beginning when the thought happened, the anxiety was high.

But now the anxiety has faded away.

Also, OCD is picking upon obsessing and doubting about other topics.

I just wanted to share my experience of how the technique of relabeling as OCD, can be used in obsessions. It seems to work out.

I hope it helps.

I agree with this. For me, telling myself it is OCD has helped me realize that it is not "real". I can must easier let it go. It does take practice.

Do you ever have trouble believing yourself when you label it as an OD though Hidden ?
