beyond normal

[leif]

Just contemplating the benefits of taking exposures to beyond "what a normal person would do"

I've never taken exposures this far, but have read and heard of many people doing the more extreme exposures--putting their hand in a toilet, or not washing hands all day etc

I often wonder if this is why my ocd never goes completely away--because I haven't gone beyond what a normal person would do...

I can't even imagine getting to that point, but maybe that's what I need to start imagining to finally declare myself a non-sufferer.

what are other people's experience here--did you get completely better just doing exposures to the point of what normal people would do?

did you do the extreme exposures with good results?

would love to hear people's experiences!
