8 OCD Self Help Principles in 5 Minutes

- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2019
- From his acceptance speech at the 2019 OCD Conference, Reid Wilson, PhD, outlines the top 8 principles of self-help for obsessive compulsive disorder. (Without the Service Award presentation by Mike Jenike, MD.)
I was diagnosed with OCD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Does he ship? Can he deliver to me here in Italy 🇮🇹
Great advice - with the right attitude and a fierce determination OCD can be beaten.
true. but it is easier said than done.
@@chaitanyadeshmane8243 - I agree, it was hard but I managed it, and my life is soooo different now! This is how I saw the problem ruclips.net/video/2VDA7zAVh-0/видео.html I made a video about it!
@@chaitanyadeshmane8243 nothing good comes easily
Your right
@@cclark3 - But good things may happen to those who try :-)
OCD is very strong painful constant impulse with hopelessness, unsatisfactoriness, fearfulness, boringness, anger, tiredness , headache, restlessness, no readiness, withdrawal , and escape. OCD is the fierce mental torture 😭
I understand clearly the torture and pain! But, you can do it’ Keep listening to Dr Reid. And if you’ve never been to an OCD specialist (of which Dr Reid is), i suggest you get that help. I did and it’s so worth it. There’s hope for you🤗
Dr Reid i dont know if you will read this but anyway...
THANKS from the bottom of my heart.I have OCD since i was a child (7years old)
but following your principles now i have a GREAT life (1 year of protocol) something that time ago i didn't think it would be possible.
OCD is always there and thats awesome cause it forces me to train the protocol, it is like my sparring and everyday i am better.
This protocol is great not only for OCD but for everything in life.
People like you should be live forever. Again THANKS.
Please also look at this short 15 minute video which highlights OCD and ERP misconceptions.

did you do this on your own or with a therapist? I want to be my own therapist now cuz i'm don't with therapy
@@missestomlinson99 good luck Jessica, i am too now my own therapist.....
I’m starting to have the same sentiment as you do. You can recover, and when you do, you will be stronger.
You are an amazing OCD expert and teacher. Thank you.
I love the way how dr explain it all so simply without long explanation 🙏🏻❤️
This guy's instructions have helped me more than anything
Thanks. Another helpful resource is that book "30 Days to Stop Obsessing" by Harper Daniels.
OCD is harder to treat when ur surrounded by strict, brutal parents and community.
wtf TRUE SAID MAN.....
yeah, if those with OCDs can live together this will be easier and energetic to fight through.
But though we are far from one another, still think that there is someone ( and not only one) fighting with you at the other side of the world. ( This thought might not be helpful sometimes but it has a point at least and that is real). Try to listen at leat for mindfulness audios while sleeping, in that way your family won't notice you doing it. The first time I do yoga, my family is surprised of me doing it, and I say it's just for fitness, them not knowing I'm on an unexplainable extreme inner crisis. Hoping for you to find time to fight while surrounded by ur parents.
Thinking of you. How are you going?
Thank you sir!!! I cant reallu thank you enough😭💛💛💛💛
Thank you sir, From India
Thank you Dr Reid, Though I considered myself in great FREEDOM from OCD over the last years, I fell back in it during some very hard times the last few months. I want to tell you how your information is very clear and has helped me so much watching your OCD videos ‘right in the throes of that painful/threat’. I actually got so much from one of your videos on threat, it’s like, wow…it was made just for me😊I’m sure many people find your information so helpful in their lives. When anyone needs a boost or refresher, listen to Dr Reid Wilson, but, ‘we must do the work’👍
Thank you again!
My going to bed security check regime lasts a good 15 minutes, hopefully I can get this time back and ignore the doubts
My last around 30 minutes sucks man. I wanna over come it so bad
@@andyjohn8661 me too buddy, stick with it. I had one good night last week, take the small victories when you can
@@wrightcarl1181 I’m trying man taking each day at a time.
Good to hear, you aren't allowed buddy

OCD is the fierce evil disease in humanity history 😢😢😢 It is the strong painful mental illness. It makes the constant tremendous mental torture and completely destroy the quality of life endlessly. Living with OCD = Living in doleful savage hell ! OCD is very strong painful constant impulse with hopelessness, unsatisfactoriness, fearfulness, boringness, anger, tiredness , headache, restlessness, no readiness, withdrawal , and escape. OCD can cause headache, depression, tachypnea, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, unemployment, hopelessness etc. The world may you please save OCD patients.
Thank you sir
THANK YOU
Thank you
It's a pleasant and good lecture. Have a nice day.
This is good advice
Thank you GENTLEMAN
Amazing
Good speech!
This is great. But he didn't mention that we also need to have a long term goal.
Long term goal: To get rid of OCD or get it under control
Short tem goal: You seek doubt/anxiety/discomfort
Without the long term goal, we don't get the motivation to do the incredibly hard work
@@CherylsWorld.63 Hi...how can I contact you...I need your help...I can also help you...
I'm going to war with OCD I'm not going to let it fuck over my life anymore that shit has put me on the streets I've turned to drugs to deal with it I've been in the mental institution but I'm standing up to this shit I'm fighting it till my death
OCD sucks, thank you- for sharing your strategies and support. I try not to play the game, exposure never works it makes it worse. Do you have an suggestions for Schizophrenia and OCD together?
Exposure is just that, its exposing what you dont "like". Who is making it worse is you. It's the reality, nothing outside of us should be able to hurt us. So why are you holding onto all those thoughts? If you need help or assistance in fighting OCD or any mental illness i can help. I can show you what ive learned in my journey to leave this behind you. Email me: abraham.valera001@gmail.com.
Problem with me is when I don't give in to my cumpulsions I get so overwhelmed that I get aggressive and the smallest things can set me off I don't want to hurt anyone are damage property so I usually do the cumpulsions because if I don't I get so overwhelmed I get aggressive
Thankyou
Hopefully I can overcome this but it's hard I mean I thought quitting tobacco was hard this is a 100 times harder it's mind blowing that it's this hard to not listen maybe it's because my case is so severe a therapist who had been doing therapy for many years told me I was the second worst case she ever had seen ocd has even led me to sleeping on the streets to protect my family because of violence caused by me being hyper paranoid and agitated I've been an alchoholic I've been to the hospital and so on hopefully I will win the fight though but sometimes I lose hope I just hope that I never end up as bad as I was a year ago that was when it was at it's worst
Please refer the Congnitive Drill Therapy from Rakesh Jain. It will give the solution
Tomorrow I’m traveling 80 miles to a recording studio to record a song I wrote about this disorder even when it’s telling me I shouldn’t get in the car
This lessons should be the one being taught in schools in values subjects, they should also focus on mental and emotional toughness rather than fostering intelligence.
Mental and emotional toughness is in essence intelligence. 😊
I don’t really get point 3 and 6! How can I don’t do the exposure that psychologist ask me todo? Than how to deal with the fears? 😭
Do it with attitude, when you really want. Take your time and dont force anything.
Okay I just found out I have reading OCD, meaning I obsess over the text material and even if I understand it I continue to repeat it coz i feel like i haven’t understood it fully. Like I will try his techniques but do you guys have any specific tips of combatting this? I’m really desperate
You can have reading OCD, writing OCD, Banana OCD, it doesnt matter. all the same. The more you engage with those thoughts the more they wont go away. If you need help or assistance in fighting OCD or any mental illness i can help. Email me: abraham.valera001@gmail.com.
@@Zeroshift21 Can you heal ocd on your own (yes i think this is an ocd thought because i'm pretty sure i can do it on my own) without a therpist? I want to be my own therapist after doing therapy for a while
@@missestomlinson99 I make sure that you become your own guru. At the end of the day only you can get yourself out of this rabbit hole. I can only teach you what I've learned in my journey. And who would know better than someone that was in it and knows what it's like? Therapist mean good, dont get me wrong. But someone that has not had the same mental health battles as you can not comprehend what your going through. So I would suggest you go to someone that has "been there, done that." And found how they left it all behind. 🙂
I just found out that I do, too! It’s been debilitating and I’m so relieved to have finally identified the cause of my trouble reading. Good luck to you!
Heyyy i have the same tbh
ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ, ΜΕΤΑΦΡΑΣΗ !!!!♥️
1- this work is frightening, difficult, takes courage but it's not complicated.. it's hard but it's simple once you understand it.
2- you gotta treat this like a mental game that you can win. You have a challenger ( ocd ) that has a strategy, come up with YOUR counter strategy and apply that... you'll be saying to (OCD) I am not playing your game anymore.
3- don't do exposure, it doesn't work.. instead, do exposure with attitude, and what's the best attitude you ask? It's simple, just say " I want to do this, I want what I don't want, I WANT WHAT SCARES ME!!!
4- own this work. Don't read a self-help book and follow those instructions, comprehend it, figure it out and what it means, don't comply with your therapist's instructions instead, collaborate, decide what your plan is, defend the logic of your plan and then want to do what you should do, own this work.
5- this is an aggressive sport, you need an attacking offense. YOU GOTTA BRING THE FIGHT!!! And tell (OCD) " I gotta take what you're dishing out, give me two servings and give them to me NOW "
6- don't say maybe I locked the door, maybe I didn't.. I can handle uncertainty. Maybe I ran somebody over this morning on the highway and killed them, maybe I didn't.. I can handle uncertainty. This has nothing to do with your content, your topic, your theme.. This is about uncertainty, simple old generic uncertainty and the good news are none of this in your topic has to be paid attention to. Go find uncertainty, do something that brings you doubt then walk on without answering the question. What do you say in those moments? " good, I am here to handle uncertainty ".
7- you win this game moment by moment. Don't worry about the long-term, don't worry about the future.. it's right now. That's what it's about.
8- in the beginning, it's terrifying to do this work, I know that and you know that.. but if we strip all of this down to a very simple structure, here's what it looks like and sounds like:
OCD: BOoooo
You: ahhhhh
Also you: I am treating that like an obsession. I am so done with that.
Also you: turn away and say " sitting with uncertainty is hard... " THEN REPEAT!! "
I must try
3:20 oh no... even hearing this is some next level torture for me.
Dont run away from the torture. Thats where the healing is. As hard as that may sound. If you need help or assistance in fighting OCD or any mental illness i can help. I can show you what ive learned in my journey to leave this behind you. Email me: abraham.valera001@gmail.com.
@@Zeroshift21 great message
And what therapy do you find to be most effective?
Mindfulness.
I can't take this ocd anymore. Right now stress gutting to me.I don't have ocd my son does.I can't help him anymore. Make me sad , upset ,nervous. 😞 It's so hard to find therapist now.
God loves you 😎💪
It’s not easy and very painful to avoid the ocd behaviours as the stress it causes can can feel as bad as the actual behaviour. Without help it seems impossible. What’s the best solo strategy to keep yourself accountable?
my therapist once said: if you for example think your hands are contaminated then ask yourself: am I 100% sure? if the answer is no, don't do the ritual.
For me, I had to really come to terms with my ocd (contamination, germs). It took me years to acknowledge that I had a problem, then accept it and then understand that it is ocd. Then I started toying with the idea that maybe I could try to get rid of it, but I didn't do anything about it. It got worse and worse but I went abroad for a student exchange where I couldn't control the cleanliness of everything so I adapted. When I got home, I noticed that I didn't regard some things as dirty anymore and could do things I hadn't been able to do. Well, then it slowly got worse again as I didn't do anything to continue on that road. It's been almost a year since I returned home and now I can say that I'm truly on the way to recovery and I only started doing ERP a couple of weeks ago.
I just want to get rid of this. I started reading lots of experiences by people who had been able to get rid of it, how they did it and then I started researching the methods how to do it myself. I wrote down all my symptoms, what causes anxiety, what are my rituals and so on. I cried while doing all of that, even thinking about OCD made me cry. I don't know why, maybe it was sadness and tiredness of what my life had become. But I was so motivated. I did my first exposures (touching grocery packages without washing my hands afterwards and then touching my hair, computer etc. Basically contaminating myself to the "dirt" on the products) and I cried again. I think I was just working on my thoughts and feelings so much. I felt both relieved and anxious, it was so weird. But that was the hardest, afterwards I have been slowly been able to expand my exposures. My next step is not going for a shower every time I return home and being able to go on to my bed with the clothes I had outside of home and not cleaning my phone every time I use it outside of home (I have done it a little bit already but I didn't think the phone as dirty then, but it's something).
My advise (once you get started) would be to just keep going. Don't stop. It's a process and you are going to have failures as well as successes. But if you stop doing exposures and stop working on it, it is so easy to fall back to your old ways. Just keep going!
(There is also a possibility that you have to work on the anxiety that causes ocd. I'm fearing that handling ocd won't be enough, but I'll see once I get there. I feel so much better already and feel less anxious).
@@aqadion Never heard of this before, might give this a go.
@@Sipu97 I can relate, the feelings of helplessness and frustration. I have too noticed periods of improvements but consistency like you have touched on is quite difficult.
@@Sipu97 I am struggling with contamination ocd. I can really relate to your comment above (especially the part about touching grocery packages without washing my hands afterwards). I am trying to do ERP but it is SO hard! As your comment is from one year ago, I was wondering how is your recovery process going? Thank you in advance for any input/advice!.
Reid, you are so good with explaining! But after having watched all your videoes, there is still one thing that seams a bit unclear to me. You say that you got to get off the content, that content is irrelavant. And I try to see it this way, I try to tell my self that ocd playing trics on me, and that my fear will probably not come true. But my mind doesn.t belive it, it wants some proof, and from there the way is short to doing reasurance.
How can I make my brain understand that content is irrelavant, without doing reasurance?
Its not possible to convince your mind that something is irrelevant through logic etc . I think the key is accepting that your experiencing the trigger as being relevant to your mind , while choosing the actions (exposure) that demonstrate to your mind that its not .
I will give you this great quote that was told to me. "Thinking got you into this mess, thinking will not get you out."
You have to be unreasonable with your mind, because you have been falling for its tricks for a very very long time so its going to feel extremely hard to not do the compulsion.
If you want some assistance i can help. I can show you what ive learned in my journey.

@@Zeroshift21 Hi! I noticed above that you commented on how practicing “Mindfulness” has truly helped you…more so than ERP, if I may ask?
@@juliettelex7597 it's a bit of both. Mindfulness is just the practice of noticing your thoughts and feelings. ERP is where you bring your mindfulness practice to.
Hi I live with someone with ocd. I'd like to say there's been a gradual improvement and we are great friends. Does anyone have any help and support for us or any stories they can share?
i just got to know I am having OCD since years 🙄 i am listening music especially made for OCD intrusive thought patients, practicing meditation, yoga, drinking more water (Not more than2.5 litre) practicing deep breathing, and finally accepted i am a OCD patient and WILL FIGHT AND BEAT OCD LIVE NO ONE DID

I'm on 80mg of prozac daily for anxiety, depression and OCD. Is it still healthy to drink in moderation? 1.5oz of whisky daily? This is safe. Correct?
The medication is meant (in my opinion) as a crutch to help you as your recovering from all the bad mental health coping skills youve been doing. in regards to the alcohol. Are you trying to reassure yourself? If you need help or assistance in fighting OCD or any mental illness i can help. I can show you what ive learned in my journey to leave this behind you.

@@Zeroshift21 please chat with me on Facebook Messenger.
Vio Lin Ist is my name there. You didn't answer my question. Is moderate drinking ok or not ok if I'm already on 80mg of prozac for anxiety/OCD?
@@Zeroshift21 I sent you an email from bludollie.
Treat like a mental game you can win. Exposure WITH attitude- I want what scares me. It's an aggressive sport- you need an attacking offence; (give me 2 servings & give it to me now,!). Find uncertainty then walk on without answering question. You win game moment by moment not by thinking long term. (He's almost saying the disease is timidness and your chaotic mind takes the offense)
wait, so don't do exposure? so we just allow thoughts to exist?
I think he meant don't passively do an exposure, but when doing so do it with attitude and confidence.

Whoa
Is taking deep breath helpful sometimes I do it
Sure. ESPECIALLY if you use it to disrupt negative thinking, etc. and refocus your mind.
My ocd theme is the fear of psychosis how do I start ?

Update. My new theme of OCD is contamination i always feel that I nees to spray alcohol all over my bed and my feet and it sucks I can't sleep everytime I do ERP
Take ashwagandha 1tabdaily 2 times great relief less compulsions
i think the last 20 seconds struck a chord
The fact that it's 4.40 and not 5 minutes😂
Thank you
Bro was super efficient. 😂😂😂
That was worthless and vague. It’s worthless because it’s vague. Don’t bother watching.
Really terrible, and pointless advice for somebody who has to live with nonstop anxiety.
If you have ocd, and wish to get rid of it, this is far from “pointless”. This is what it takes, like it or not.
This guy is no help.
Very interesting, but what do you say to a person that has taken numerous medications and seen many therapist, only to be so paralyzed with the condition 🥲
