@TamseIIicsonIII What about the crockery and the train set?

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery I wince when I hear of sufferers being asked to 'measure' and record their feelings on a daily basis - this is just helping to keep them in the anxiety state!

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery Yes, but to understand why the irrational thoughts have such an impact paves the way for true recovery

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery 'Thoughts are thoughts' means nothing, really it is just stating a basic fact. A full explanantion of WHY the thoughts are there and why they seem so convincing is required.

[john h @frontier1r]

@fionnEV @ocdrecovery Let the thoughts happen

[john h @frontier1r]

@hatttiegladwell Your 'what if' alerts your nervous system to a perceived threat, the resulting nervous reaction falsely confirms your what if is valid and so you act accordingly, this is what OCD is.

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery It is ONLY fear of fear imho

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery As with pretty much all anxiety disorders

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery Same thing if you are truly recovered? Remember you cannot eliminate feelings but you can get them to 'normal' levels of intensity.

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery There is a widely held belief that people are 'damaged' by past trauma and their current suffering is caused directly by it. As you say, it is the fear that you have been damaged by the trauma that causes the suffering, IMHO

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery A key part is when you do get it. That happens when it is all fully explained and then you practice the right way.

@MoTomkins @ocdrecovery A wee bit of advice: Let them be there, let them be as bad as they want, time and time and time again. They are ONLY there cause you fear your reaction to them.

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery That was what Dr Claire Weekes was teaching in her books. It is the crux of all anxiety disorders.

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery It's the same for all anxiety/depression sufferers

[john h @frontier1r]

@ocdrecovery 😆Very true
