Applying CBT So As To Beat Our OCD

[taurean]

Just to give everyone some moral support, and show that this is achievable. 

I find by my personal experience that, when we do master not responding to or connecting with our obsessional thoughts and intrusions, and reduce,then eliminate, compulsions, we do so very much better. 

I remember reporting on the forum that I felt intrusions were all around me. 

They still are - but I no longer notice them, or respond to them. 

It takes time and commitment to change those unhelpful thoughts and behaviours using CBT methods. I wish I had learned how to years ago. 

So people it can be done - but only we can do it.
