So what are some of the most popular pieces of advice that people are given when it comes to OCD?
I'll tell you right here and right now that most of the "advice" that is going around about OCD is absolutely stupid. Really. Here are some of the things that I have heard that I just could not believe as I shook my head in disappointment. The first one, Just think about something else. Lol. How do you apply this?
Have you noticed that most advice that is given is watered down generic pieces of advice? Have you noticed that people regurgitate the little nuggets of perceived wisdom that they have heard and they actually have no idea what they are talking about. Seriously. I have to apologize for their mistakes, as they have lead you astray and have given you essentially useless information.
What about another one: "You just gotta fight it." Wow, how do we apply this? Now before I go ahead and give you some good OCD tips or what not I think that you should first see how the existing common knowledge is so wrong. So let's look at this for a second, how do you fight your OCD thoughts? Do you focus on not having OCD thoughts? Here is the truth, the thoughts that you focus on become stronger and the thoughts that you do not focus on become weaker, it's simply how the brain works.
What about this ignorant line, "I am going to focus on getting rid of my OCD before I actually move on with my life." Whatever you focus on will become stronger. Absolutely do not focus on your OCD. Period. What do you think is going to happen if you sit there and focus on OCD, it's just going to get stronger. Now I can hear people saying, "Well, I gotta do something about it!" Yes you do, but focusing on it is not one of those things.
What about when people say, "I'm just going to go to a therapist and they'll heal me." Wow, don't tell me you're that simple. Seriously, I cannot count how many people have come to me for help with their OCD because their therapist, psychologist or any other fancy sounding profession could not help them.
Let's go ahead real quick and cover why the "professionals" will probably not be able to help you. They focus on OCD! They then string you along talking about your traumatic childhood. That is a good scam, as they can keep you there for years without real results. Now there are therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists that can help and are very good at what they do, but they are not as common as you think. So do your due diligence if you decide to go that route and find out what their results were for their clients and how long it took them to get those results. Results are all that matter, period.

Treatment For OCD - Enough is Enough With This Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!
Treatment For OCD - Enough is Enough With This OCD!
If you are like me, you are probably to the point where you gotta scream, "Enough is enough with this OCD!" As you can see, someone who has OCD or someone that has had it like me, understand these feelings. It's really hard to describe the kind of hell that OCD is even if you have it.
I just had to think, wow, Only when I started saying "enough is enough" did I actually started to see my OCD get smaller and smaller. I started to see that the treatment for OCD was actually deciding that you are done with it. When you get to the point where you just don't care anymore, that's when you start to see changes.
What people everywhere who suffer with OCD need to understand that OCD cannot be cured by reading a few articles. You don't know how important the understanding of this is. If that were the case, then why is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder becoming more and more of a problem? It's because there is a certain set of behaviors that you have to repeat on a daily basis in order to become free of it.
These steps are not just tiny little sentences in a sealed envelope somewhere as if it's the formula for nuclear fission or something. No, instead these steps must be matched with the specific person's own experience of the world. Most people think that when they learn a technique or trick that that is the cure. This is just not true.
The treatment for OCD is relearning how to react to your thoughts in a different way. This is a process and takes time. Don't expect that you are going to be able to just learn something and then be able to start out like a champ. All of us are green when we are new to something. Don't buy an OCD program and think for a second that it will be easy.
I really want you guys to understand this. There really is no magic pill! There is no magic formula! There are no big deep dark techniques that only a rocket scientist could understand. No, instead it's about learning basic principles and applying these basic principles in a repetitive and systematic fashion.
Back to the point that I was making earlier is that if you are content where you are and are not mad enough at your OCD, then how can you get rid of it? You have to feel a very strong need and motivation to get rid of OCD. If you are comfortable with it and are not bothered by it, then you need to make yourself motivated.
Think about the things that you could lose by not getting rid of your OCD. The treatment for OCD can be augmented by stirring a little bit of "fear of loss" into the mix. You see, the higher we can get your motivation to be, the quicker you will get over your OCD because you will become more desperate and will have the motivation to do what it takes no matter how you feel.
You always notice that those who are better at following directions and are doers actually get things done and are some of the most productive people in the world. When our desire and motivation is not high enough, we will look at a program someone made and have this inspector kind of mindset where we start looking for all the reasons why this program is not complete.
We have to put our pride away and become more strict with ourselves. We'll baby ourselves and try to wean off OCD ourselves. When you stop playing around and actually look at this as a life or death matter, that is when you'll start to see results.

Treatment For OCD - Where Did My Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Come From?
Do you know how you even got Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
There are so many theories about where one gets their OCD and the treatment for OCD is also a debated subject. Meanwhile, you are sitting there wondering how it even all started arn't you?
Think back before you had OCD when you did those little quirky things. You see, OCD builds up over a long period of time. It's only when you feel like something is really wrong that you feel like you just got it from no where. You see, it was happening for a long time, you just didn't notice it.
I'm sure you can go back into your memory and think about in your times of stress if the quirky little things you did were a little more involved or even more quirky. You gotta understand that we learn things from repetition in our brains, if they are mundane, or very quickly if the thing we are learning is causing a lot of pleasure or pain to us in some way.
So when we explore our brains to search for the answers, we are lead through certain pathways in our head through our neurons. These are not the same things as nerves. Neurons create connections in our head, or pathways if you will where information is disbursed.
Think of a computer and how the information travels through the memory, the harddrive and the processor. In the brain, many different parts can do many different things at once, so instead of our processing power being limited by a bottleneck in the system, we can process information way faster.
When it comes to OCD, this is what makes the treatment of OCD harder than people think. However, if the person is willing to do what it takes to get rid of their OCD, they will get rid of it, following the right system, within a few months permanently. Using things like NLP and other techniques do not permanently cure OCD. The neurons have to be conditioned naturally in order to have lasting change.
Look at the past and all throughout history, there are even kings who have been shown to have OCD thoughts. The treatment for OCD back in those days was quite different. People believed in superstition more then they do now. What you should realize is that OCD comes from stress and from a habit of reacting with fear to your thoughts.
So it's obvious then that OCD is based totally on fear. Think about this, if you were not afraid of anything, would you have OCD? The answer is a solid no for sure! You have to learn how to change the way you react to your fear and you will be able to increase every good thing in your life.
What do I do now? Check out what I wrote below and see what that's all about. It's probably the best thing that you can do if you have OCD. The treatment for OCD is getting better and better all the time, but I really don't care about that and neither should you, as there has always been a cure and you should use that instead.

Finding the Right Person To Help You With Your OCD
Finding the Right Person To Help You With Your OCD
How to find someone to help you with your OCD.
Now normally, people all around the world who have OCD would just go through life worrying. Some will probably go to therapists who are using hundred year old tricks. Of course some of them work and most of them not so much.
We should really rethink how good therapists, counselors and phychologists reallty are and here is why. Now of course all of the above will hate me for this article, but that's how the game is played. First off, there are some good therapists out there, but they are few far and between.
It's not really a good idea to try to learn from someone who has learned everything they know from books. You see, it's all theory and no practice. You should work with someone who has experience and results in helping others with OCD.
The very best thing to do if you have OCD thoughts is to find someone else who has had OCD thoughts and then they'll be able to teach you from experience and not just what they've read or heard about.
Be weary of "professionals" who say that they sympathize with you! You gotta understand that there are far less people who really understand OCD than you think. The fact is, it is one of the most misunderstood mental issues in the world!
So how do we actually put a permanent stop to this thing we call OCD thoughts? We can go read books and listen to relaxation tapes, or we can find someone who has been through it themselves. When faced with these two options, I would choose the latter.
The absolute best thing that you can do is actually go out into the world and find someone who has actually beaten it and then you will really be getting the best advice that you can from someone's real experience with it. You see, knowing how OCD works and how it feels is vital in being the most effective at helping someone else to get rid of it.
I have found by working with a lot of clients that a good therapist will actually not baby the person who is babying themselves with their OCD. You cannot always do what you feel like doing. With OCD the opposite is almost always what you need to be doing.
Discipline when dealing with your OCD is your best bet by far! Do not let your OCD thoughts get the best of you! You want to stand up to them and you can simply do that by not giving into them. Don't always do what you feel like doing and always know what your goals are in trying to get rid of OCD. When do you want to get rid of it by?
Dont' think for a second that reading a few articles is going to help you get rid of OCD. You see articles are good for getting little chunks of information here and there, but you really need to go out there and find a system.
People are not just going to give away all their hard earned secrets for free. It actually makes no sense. Plus, if you pay for something, you appreciate it more and you will actually use it! I can't tell you how many "free" e-books I've gotten that I never read, simply because it was free. Percieved value is important. Plus if the content is really good and you paid for it, you will actually do it, this has been proven!
Also make sure that you don't pay too much either! Don't waste your time going to those places where they charge you twenty thousand dollars to live there! I had a client do this and they said it was a huge waste of money! So be careful and do your due diligence!
