Andy333 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I used to have bad ocd contamination and would have to use paper towels to turn the tap off etc. As part of therapy, I stopped washing my hands including after going to the toilet. Given that putting your hand down the toilet and then rubbing your face and licking your fingers is a key part of CBT therapy isn't it best to not wash your hands?? The whole contamination worry is a false economy. I find that it is best to go to the opposite extreme with contamination ocd. Link to comment
