So basically, even in the last stages of OCD recovery accept, disregard with sarcasm and ERP, and live life as normal as you can until recovery is full. Is that right Ali?
Because you learned that anxiety around the thought means you don't like it. It's checking, a compulsion. So now when you get a thought that you think SHOULD scare you, and it doesn't, now you think it's more likely to be true. In reality, you're making progress, and the anxious charge just isn't there anymore. This is a great sign.
'maybe I don't need to send the thought to you with high anxiety anymore' 👏 Yes you still get the thoughts but without anxiety. So the brain literally no longer sends with anxiety - that's when you're cured when the brain drops the attached anxiety! Thanks as always Ali 🏆👏
Ali, when my anxiety lowers, I always get scared because OCD always tells me that I’ve found my truth and I want to do the thing. And then I’m right back into anxiety.
Threat analysis. Your brain is doing its job, just in overdrive. I get this same sensation. Why do I not fear the though of harming my daughter anymore? What if I want to do it? Boom, anxiety. Finds another route. Hence accepting the thoughts no matter their charge. Difficult but doable my friend ❤
hey ali, thanks to you im recoverying and im getting my life back, i feel happier and im so happy that even if im not compeletly ok yet, i can enjoy my life with my boyfriend. i have homosexual ocd and when i just said ok no im done suffering, i really didn't know how to recover in the right way, thanks to you i know and i am, and thanks to your videos my boyfriend could understand better all of this and help me. thank you ali, i cant way for the day im thanking you for overcoming this
Hii how was your recovery I'm suffering with the same I'm a girl to and I'm fine 1 day and then start questioning myself again, it's to annoying and terrifying.
@@fareehamustapha9556 I'm going pretty good I must say. I don't think about it the whole day, if I think it's like passing by fast or because something trigger it but I handle it. When I do think of it like on stressful day or because I'm just so sad about something I think about it max 2h normally it's 1h but let's say 2h,.in that hour I do things do distract me and not give in because when ocd comes I feel like just being sad on bed, soo go draw because I'm an artist or watch some RUclips videos I like. I'm going pretty well
This is so trueeeee!!! Love this video. Have been practicing this but everytime I try to do what you told, my thoughts and feelings come and tell me that I want it, so it causes anxiety but it's getting better. I can feel it. I know I am doing the right thing no matter if I will like I actually want it but I don't.
yes guys it works i have figured it out after years of struggle with anxiety and ocd my pyschologist told me this technique dont just sarcasticly but real try to accept
You are an angel sent for people with ocd ♡ you r a good person who experienced this pain and u r doing efforts to help ppl overcome it becauqe u want them to feel better
if it wasnt for this wonderful woman I would not be getting thru this OCD nightmare her videos are priceless a blessing in this life THANK YOU .. much respect
Good video The same thought for 3 months has been bothering me and came out of no where of self harm ocd and never leaves how do you not react it’s hard
Hi Ali!First of all,thank you,you gave my life back.Im currently in sensorimotor ocd recovery,i have an irrestable urge to swallow when i think about it,that i need to swallow at that moment,i can t sleep because of it.How to handle this?Wishing all good!
Hello ali i saw some experts which says erp is not enough and we should practice mindfulness also and be aware when the mind attacks what is the persise way to do erp and acceptance or to practice mindfulness , can you make a vedio on mindfulness .
I have a thought that what if something goes wrong. What if unconsciously some bad word comes out that could get me into legal trouble. What should I do? Help.
Hi Ali...i feel extreme guilt when i do something wrong and some close one say that u r very bad if u have done this...i get panic attacks and extreme guilt when someone says like this... What kind of OCD is this ? Plz do comment ..
Ali why i don't remember getting these type of thoughts before getting ocd did normal people get these thoughts often but they just can't see them being there? Or i they see them they don't give importance to the thoughts?
Thank you for your helpful videos. For me, it is extremely hard, I mean unimaginably hard to sit through the anxiety, especially when I am trying to continue to do what I was before the thought. Eventually, I give in and stop what I was doing and do a compulsion. How do we sit through the anxiety when we are trying to complete something important and the OCD is stopping us?
@@cerealis_5432 Unfortunately not. Thanks for checking. Some advice that didnt help me, but might help others is to know that the thought is just a thought and not a representation of yourself.
I’d love to see a video on tips for when you’ve entered recovery, but things slip slightly... I find since my recovery whenever immensely stressful things come up the harm ocd or whatever will be like oh hello, did you miss me? Are we done? We’re you sure ? And I know to ignore it, thankfully that’s fine! But I’d love to hear like tips on maintaining it when you’ve passed that recovery point. Because it can be a bit like oh - haven’t had to deal with this for a bit hmm... you know? Lesso of MAYBE ITS REAL! I don’t get that, but more of, when this happens... tips on reminding yourself of the path when you haven’t had to practice it in awhile since it was essentially on auto pilot for awhile.
What if your brain gives you a signs related to your fear. Example if you see black cats on your way..and my thought automatically say this is a sign that the thing you fear will actually happen. How is that?
Thank you for saving my life everyday. God bless you. You are a very special person in this world. Thank you indeed.
What do you mean everyday , hope you're not watching these as compulsions
I want to say the same!☺️
@@ellieabdu4593 believe, you will.
So basically, even in the last stages of OCD recovery accept, disregard with sarcasm and ERP, and live life as normal as you can until recovery is full. Is that right Ali?
Why is it that thoughts without anxiety seem more real feel more real and scary??
Ikr !
Yes it does. It's scary 😢. still don't give up.
How are you doing now?
Because you learned that anxiety around the thought means you don't like it. It's checking, a compulsion.
So now when you get a thought that you think SHOULD scare you, and it doesn't, now you think it's more likely to be true.
In reality, you're making progress, and the anxious charge just isn't there anymore. This is a great sign.

But its normal when the thoughts still come in because my anxiety went down through ERP but now i got the thoughts without feeling bad

Should it accept it without suppressing it/ forcing it away so I can prevent fear?
