How would you recommend doing erp with religious ocd when it comes to vows? When I was young I always made promises in order to gain security and I am sure that those are not valid but making promises became a tool for me to gain security even when there was no compulsion. Should I also ignore these because I am afraid that I might sin?
Today I'm the person who sarcastically agrees then disregards what OCD is telling me. Today I'm the person who will keep fighting OCD and eventually overcome it!
Today, I shall be the person who accepts that the intrusive thoughts were and still are not in my full control. Today, I shall be the person who shall not push my anxiety and thoughts away, but simply acknowledge them as is and let them come in and go as they please. Today, I shall be the person who doesn’t need to tell my friends about the intrusive thoughts I’ve had because I think I need to “tell the truth”. Today, I will accept that it can, and it will get BETTER.
@Alessandro Corti I'm really happy about your mental health. Be safe. Live your life and always know what you wanna be is the thing you will be. Nothing can change ocd is nothing. Cause you have more power
Today I am the person that accept having groinal response and anxiety Today I am the person that can look at children or play with them without thinking that I am a monster Today I am the person who is stronger than my fear
i have this theme too & i’m about to do my ERP & i came to find a video to give me some extra strength before hand so seeing a relatable comment really helped!
OCD and Anxiety Thank you SO much for these videos! They’ve really been helping me get prepped for doing ERP for my rOCD and scrupulosity with a therapist for the first time. 🌟
Today, I am the person who allows scary "what if" thoughts while not following through with perfectionistic/religious compulsions...and I am the person who internally rests and enjoys life 💗 Thanks Nathan!!
@@IbarrasLife yes that will make it worse my sister, it would be considered a compulsion. It would be better to just let the thought pass by on its own terms or you can try to laugh at it, it will teach your brain that this thought is not important
I’m the person who’s learning to say fuck off ocd you’re hilarious but you don’t know what’s certain or not either! So jokes on you!😂 Seriously tho. This has been an insane experience. My girlfriend and family are amazing for not running away from me. I believe this makes all of us a lot tougher.
today i am the person that accepts whatever thought comes to mind that is evil, upsetting, fearful, etc i am ready to stop believing i am a awful person who doesn’t deserve happiness bc of the thoughts im experiencing!!💓
I like these man thanks for your channel. I mostly struggle with ruminating, uncertainty, and lots of intrusive thoughts but I’m working everyday to be a person okay with uncertainty, riding and sitting with anxiety, and not worrying what people think about me or being perfect. God bless you Nathan 🙂
I personally don't have OCD but I think this is a really good advice to face our fears and mental blocks in general! Today I am the person that doesn't care that much about other people's opinions!
today i am the person that will not care about what OCD is telling me. today i am the person that won't do compulsions. today i am the person that accepts uncertainty about what happened in the past. today i am the person that will get over Real Event OCD.
Today i'm the person that will accpt my anxiety/panic attacks but i know i can always fight the thoughts over my mind, and will always remind my self that "it's just a thought." I will not let the fear eat me i'm stronger than anyone else know.
Thanks Nathan for always being there....i can never be less grateful to u for what all u do and that too here on a platform that so many people can really connect well on and that too for free its..just u are truly a blessing in disguise thanks again for changing my life my lifeline my therapist NATHAN PETERSON! MAY GOD BLESS U
Two weeks in of doing exposures and response treatment and it’s tough to live in uncertainty but it is what it is. I’ve learned to battle ocd you do truly have to stop caring and have a dog mentality and a piss on it attitude.
Today I am the person that will accept the possibility of developing psychosis. Today I am the person that will not try to fix, change or even stop thoughts.
Your videos are really helpful. In Major parts of India we have very limited resources to help our selves in oredr To overcome ocd. I AM receiving a lot of help from your videos. Thank you
today i am the person who disregards my intrusive and anxious thoughts. today i am the person who hangs out with my friends. today i am the person who scoffs at what my ocd says.
Hy Dear Nathan! Thank you for your videos. These videos helped me a lot. I always agree with my intrusive thoughts. I practice the ERP and use your examples too. For example, I kill everyone today, yes sure, i am a bad person, very very bad, or if i see a beautiful girl on the street, i think omg, she is very pretty, prettier than my girlfriend :D i had struggled with harm ocd and relationship, but i am better now :) My ocd thoughts began to loose their energy, and power, and you said fine, i am the boss, not my thoughts :) so thank you. And please enjoy my very bad english grammar, because i don't speak english, only hungarian :D
Today I am the person who will face her fears and accept uncertainty and InShahAllah nothing will go wrong my thoughts are not my actions i am in control of myself
today i am the person that is okay not knowing whether or not i’ll be arrested for something i did in the past! today i am the person who won’t check my rear view mirror for cop cars!
How? Can you share? I currently have the breathing OCD and I'm unsure of how to overcome it. I want to do this Exposure Response Technique myself, and I would like advice from you...
The problem solving is so difficult. I tell myself “you are NOT going to problem solve” and then I’m like well then your thoughts really are real bc that’s the last thing I thought about with the topic bc I didn’t fight it. Please don’t ever give up on us. You’ve changed my life. Of all people. And I don’t even “know” you. But I tell everyone about you. :,)
Today I am the person who will believe that at every deadly intrusive thoughts the things are going tobe fine. Today I am the person who not only wait for that peaceful and accepting end but also will enjoy the process even if the anxiety boosts its limits Today I am the person who will never search reassurances.
Today i am the person that accepts the thoughts that come in and out of my brain Today i am the person that sits in anxiety Today i am the person who stops avoiding men becoz my ocd scares me and makes me feel like I'll turn straight... Today I'm gonna walk towards the threat
Today I am the person who is going to accept that I am happy at the moment and be comfortable in that. I am the person who is going to be happy in the moment today.
Today I an the person that can relax in their home without constantly sweeping bits off the floor or picking up bits from the floor. Or tidying crumbs off surfaces or constantly thinking about mess...to realise a bit of mess does not equal losing control...and dirt on the floor does not mean I or others in the house are contaminated and spreading dirt around.
Hey there, I love your videos. Just a quick question. I’ve been having these thoughts about choking my girlfriend for about a week now. I love her so much. I would never harm her and when it comes to my thoughts, it seems to be mostly focused on her. It doesn’t make sense to me, I’m scared maybe I’m going crazy. Any tips for me ??
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your experiences. I would say try to find a therapist near you that can help on iocdf.org -- You may check out my harm OCD video to see if it relates to what you're experiencing.
do you think that “today i am the person that engages in treatment even if it is scary/risky” and “today i am the person that is ready to stop believing i am a bad person & that the thoughts are not real” are good statements?
Today I’m going to accept that my elevated heart rate and breathing during exercise and jiu jitsu is normal and good for me! Also, I’m going accept the stickers on the binders on the shelf behind you 😬🙊🙉🙈 Love your content and positivity. Thank you!
Today i am the person that will accept its ok to not be ok and to accept mental issues arrive even in your late 20s in life and its ok to have them for the rest of your life.
Today I will be the person who reads through my drivers ed course without rereading Although I’m not properly diagnosed, I am sure I have reading OCD. My mom doesn’t rly understand mental health stuff and she isn’t rly sympathetic about it either, so Is it possible to do ERP on myself (I’m almost 16 btw)?
This will sound weird but how do I stop OCD over peeing a zillion times? I have to empty my bladder completely before I sleep. It has to be the absolutely last thing I do before I go to bed, otherwise, I have to start the ritual all over. I attributed to some OCD that manifested itself in the last couple of years, but in the last couple of months it became unbearable. What can I do? 🥵 Thank you very much!
I have to ask you one thing about rituals and compulsions in erp. I just hade my second ocd theraphist session about my pocd and groinal responsen. Should i think about my little brother for example and then just accept it or should i just accept the toughts when i am with him or a get a tought from nowhere. So with this i mean should i do exposures in my mind or should i not try to think about my little brother. Because it can feel like i am thinking the toughts to see if i get an reaction in my penis or groin area and that is an compulsion testing kind of thing i guess. Sorry if it’s hard to understand but with pure o it feels like ruminanting and compulsions inside my head and not compulsions you can see :)
I'm not able to tell you what you should do since I'm not your therapist. I hope your therapist can give you some good advice. Often when someone thinks they have Pure O, the compulsion is "mental review" which is just thinking through it and trying to gain certainty.
@@willecrook9544 hey! I noticed that we are experimenting exactly the same thing about POCD, I also have ONLY groinal reponse when I am near a child and not intrusive tought, I was wondering if it was okay to contact you and talk about it with you
@@ineskt6361 Well i would love to talk to you but i beleive that can be a kind of compulsion itself. I have been talking a lot about my ocd with my family and seeked reasurence very much wich is a compulsion itself. I am not really a ocd therapist myself and i would recomend you to seek out for professionell help. Acceptence, Erp, Think ´´whatever´´ when the toughts/groinal response occur. Almost like laughing at the tought. Try to think at your ocd toughts from an outside perspective or write them down so you see how stupid all of this pocd thing really sounds like. Also searching for reasurence on google is just a trap because that will lead to more thinking and you wont make any progress. I had this when i was 13 and made a comback now when i am 15 and i am fighting it everyday and meeting an theraphist. Focus on the good in life and live for the day and just dont ruminate to much about the toughts we are not alone! Do what you love we only got one life the ocd is just a lie!
@@willecrook9544 you're absolutely right, thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me, I am sending you a lot of love and peace, we are stronger than this and we can do this, thank you so much
today, i am the person who does not dwell on whether i got aroused or not today, i am the person who accepts all possibilities and embrace that i don't know it for sure
Today I am the person that everyone says I am. Today I am the person who’s going to risk being alone to have my peace Today I am the person that chooses my peace Today I’m the person who is in control of her emotions
Does anyone also have any advice about ruminating too? My brain just keeps going back to the same thought over and over again and if I don’t stop I’ll push my boyfriend away :(
Thanks for the video. The problem I have with exposure is that often when I try to expose myself to my fears (watching a certain TV show, etc) it can often make me feel much worse in the moment. Like, sweating all over, knot in my stomach kind of worse. I know it’s necessary but I don’t know when it will get better. I’m not comfortable with seeking ERP because of the theme of this bout of my OCD (I’m sure you can guess) so I’m trying to do my own exposures, even if it’s through gritted teeth. Any advice welcome.
What would your "Today I am the person that...." statement look like? Comment below! 👍🏻
Today I am the person who is not gonna use social media
How would you recommend doing erp with religious ocd when it comes to vows?

Should I also ignore these because I am afraid that I might sin?

Try the fear ladder approach. Start with really small things that make you anxious and work up to your goal of whatever it is your OCD.
