Completed my first month of a new job in big ol' London. The commute is tiring, but I'm amazed at what I've achieved compared to the little bubble I lived in for so long. I could never have imagined doing this before I received life changing CBT (with heavy emphasis on ERP) #OCD

@TheOCDBeard Agreed. In any life, adversity may be faced including trauma,
Too many OCD sufferers rely on meds alone to deal with symptoms. While meds can be very helpful, they should be regarded as something to help you to do therapy and not as a standalone treatment. Therapy changes habits and beliefs.
OCD symptoms will often flare up during times of increased stress and anxiety. You are not “failing” because this happens!
@TheOCDBeard Wow just read it! You clearly worked so hard to be no longer in the situation of avoiding anything. I really hope I can do this if I get the help too 🤞🏻 thank you x
@TheOCDBeard Thank you for the reply. Amazing work, I don’t doubt that those hours doing it along in between sessions were excruciating at times! I hope to echo your success at some point 🤞🏻
A reminder that Jess is an academic with a psychology PhD, not a clinical psychologist. She has no medical license to practice. Intrusive thoughts don’t always have meaning and suggesting otherwise, while positioning yourself as having expertise in this, is incredibly dangerous
@DrJessTaylor Purposeful? You are not a clinical psychologist or mental health professional and you've not provided any citations for something you're presenting as fact and isn't, it's dangerous. If you do not know that what you're saying is inappropriate then you need to revisit ethics.
A crucial point about OCD is that it is paradoxical. All the things you thought were going to make you better (that is, compulsions), made you worse, and all the things you feared would make you worse are what will make you better.
I have learned over the years that overcoming OCD isn't just about changing your behavior. You also need to change your beliefs about uncertainty and risk and about learning to not fear your own anxiety. Philosophical change really matters.
@obsessivelyocd Are you sure? Seriously though imo (empirically grounded) a crucial process is trying way too hard to be COMPLETELY certain, and in doing so losing confidence in what you know.
@TheOCDBeard My poor old dad used to suffer terribly when watching England play. Like a scary horror film sometimes you watch behind the sofa hoping the protagonists survive
ALL MY OBSESSIONS BEFORE WERE A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE *THIS* ONE IS THE REAL DEAL AND I'LL NEVER GET OVER IT VIBES
@LilyBaileyUK I used to get a bit of variation, but then one day many years ago something came into my mind accidentally and BANG that's trumped all the others since. Haven't found anything more worth my continued attention so far, it seems...
@TheOCDBeard I'm pleased you feel better x
@TheOCDBeard You should be so proud of that amazing progress! I know we are so proud!
@CaulfieldTim @psychunseen @StanKutcher @jonathanstea @drjanaway EMDR is simply standard trauma therapy wrapped in unscientific woo. I don't begrudge it, but the woo-y parts are silly.
@DrFionaCh @Fi_Contextual @deshocks @OCDIreland Yes, agreed. How to undo some painstaking work in a few ill chosen sentences. By definition those who are prone to OCD are prone to doubt, so sowing the seeds of doubt in this way is particularly distressing and destructive.
@Fi_Contextual @deshocks @OCDIreland @psalkovskis Horrified to read this! This article is completely wrong re OCD and intrusive thoughts in this context.
We are thrilled to be hosting a virtual seminar with @psalkovskis & Dr Victoria Bream If you suffer with anxiety, OCD & phobias, are interested in anxiety, know someone with anxiety then get yourself a ticket @TheOCDBeard @BrynjarBrynjar @4_MentalHealth eventbrite.co.uk/e/overcoming-a…
@TheOCDBeard Yes, just have to make sure to get LOADS of those occasions where I don't care any more. More and more and more. I'm working hard on this at the moment and the reason is that I have a new motivation. When you have goal, it's easier. A goal/motivation is so super important.
