OCD & Anxiety Treatment - Giving Power to Intrusive Thoughts- Pure O OCD treatment
Sep 10, 2021When going through OCD & Anxiety Treatment it is so important to understand how we misinterpret intrusive thoughts and paradoxically give them power over our lives. When we have intrusive thoughts we often feel compelled to solve them or try to get rid of them. But when we do that we indirectly validate them as a "real" problem which paradoxically makes our brain keep producing them.
Once we begin to understand that intrusive thoughts are just thoughts and by changing the way respond to them is the key to our success it can dramatically change our relationship with them and ultimately help our recovery.
