Pure OCD - How to Put an End to Pure OCD With No Therapy Or Medication

Pure OCD is when you do not do rituals like wash your hands or anything outwardly, rather it's a kind of OCD where you do the repetitions in your head, whether it's counting, or other repeating thoughts.

You should be aware that the thoughts that you focus on are what determine your emotions. These emotions in turn, will determine what you do and all your other actions.There are millions and millions of people who suffer with pure OCD thoughts so you are not the only one that has experienced this before.

Beware of what you will find in the online forums and tribes when it comes to pure OCD or any kind of OCD for that matter. All you will be doing is surrounding yourself with people who love to complain and who reject anything that is different than what they've already heard.It's great that you understand this are here reading this article then over there participating in a complain fest. You will get much better results as a result of this

The way that I got rid of my pure OCD is by simply changing the way that I think about the thoughts that I have or the things that I experience. Pure OCD is not some kind of disease that is permanent. I feel bad for those who are misinformed and think it is permanent. I had it and now I don't so I am living proof that you can indeed get rid of it!

I would avoid the negativity of the message boards and focus on finding people like me who have beat their Pure OCD. Then just have us teach you how to stop it. It is a process and it will not happen over night. But in a few short months, you'll see a dramatic difference, even if you've had OCD for over 20 years.

So what is it that you should do in this point? I would make sure that you realize that you do not have to limit your beliefs to those of therapists or psychologists who learned about OCD from books written by people who learned about OCD from books or experiments.

You see, you cannot claim to know anything about Pure OCD unless you had it. Just like you would be offended if someone who never gave birth to try to tell you about that. So don't make the mistake of asking people who have never had OCD to actually teach you how to stop it. How could they know?

Beware when your psychologist cannot tell you a plan that you can follow to stop your pure OCD! You'll hear them tell you to take medication and that you'll be ok. Make sure that the number one thing you are looking at when you are working with someone to help you stop your pure OCD is the results. The results will tell you to stay with the person or not!

I believe that if you have found a therapist or psychologist that is helping you get great results, then continue working with them by all means as some people have a knack for helping people. But make sure that you understand that this is more rare then you think. Don't just think that because someone is a therapist or psychologist that it means that they can help you! I know this is sad, but it's so true. This is the truth straight from my clients' mouths!
