taurean Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) OCD takes an "inch" and changes it into a "mile" . CBT examines that mile and, during therapy and the sufferer’s own hard work, turns the miles back into inches. The inch is seen as not important and is then easily dismissed. Gradually, the inches occur less frequently and when they do are calmly eased away. Edited July 11, 2019 by taurean Link to comment
Ashley Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I get the analogy but I would suggest we need to go further, and say we don't want to even give OCD an inch, because it will eventually try and take that mile again eventually... So I would suggest we need to give it 0.00mm... i.e. not anything. Link to comment
taurean Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Nicely put Triggers used to be everywhere for me. Now the inches are just occasional and I aim towards no imperial or metric measures Edited July 11, 2019 by taurean Link to comment
