Read one of the most popular blog posts I've ever written about the subtle #OCD compulsion of engaging in OCD-influenced emotions and how it can fuel the compulsive cycle. https://t.co/9Szs0Clzmi

If you believe facing your OCD is 'too hard,' try weighing it against how 'hard' it would be to have OCD for the rest of your life without letup. Most things worth doing are hard. Change may not be easy, but it is worth it. Never lose sight of your goal.

✨Participants needed!✨ OCD can develop or get worse after trauma, and sometimes trauma weaves it’s way into OCD themes making assessment and treatment more challenging. Please participate and/or share widely for anyone who may be interested! @BCMStorchLab @IOCDF

@RachelDavisMD Thanks, Rachel, and I've wondered about that, too!

To be indecisive is to be human. And yet, at the end of the day, we still need to choose.

Telling OCD it's irrelevant lets #OCD know that you think it's important. Instead, ACT as though the OCD doesn't matter! https://t.co/SltbWTLa9Z

Read an excerpt from one of my favorite parts of Kimberley Quinlan's amazing new book, The Self-Compassion Workbook for OCD. When you stop trying to "clip up" to prove your worth, you can take your #OCD recovery to a whole new level! https://t.co/Ip1HeL9Owt

[Shala Nicely, LPC @ShalaNicelyLPC]

if you have #OCD and especially if you have done or are working on exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), you are more resilient than you know! https://t.co/koRjQYeqSj

If you've suffered from untreated #OCD during your life, you can probably relate to these 4 loops!

[Janis Ozolins @OzolinsJanis]

4 loops that cause creative struggle

[Shala Nicely, LPC @ShalaNicelyLPC]

Both having untreated #OCD and doing ERP for OCD can be exhausting. So make sure you're getting all 7 types of rest that @DrDaltonSmith discusses in this great article! https://t.co/e4UhxDktij

[Shala Nicely, LPC @ShalaNicelyLPC]

If you have #OCD and one of your symptoms is striving for perfection in school, read this eye-opening article by @AdamMGrant about how "underachieving in school can prepare you to overachieve in life." https://t.co/kH9ideezw1
