helloocd Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 ... once on started to expose yourself to the thing that feel contaminated by tought? An event in my life made me expose myself to a LOT of obsessions since yesterday. I watched a movie that was one of the worst obsession that I had to face and surprisingly, it was much less difficult that I tought. I even put an image of the movie as a wallpaper on my computer to willingly contaminate everything I'll do on the internet. So, my question is, if I expose myself to this daily, how long can it take so that my brain stop to associate this movie to my obsessive tought? Link to comment
PolarBear Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That depends how quickly you stop your compulsions. The E in ERP does stand for exposure but that us only half of it. RP is for response prevention and that means not doing compulsions. Link to comment
