New breakthrough in OCD treatment!
It's not what you think! It's not NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). NLP is when a person trained in NLP helps you change the association you have with your fears subconsciously.
I'm also not talking about flooding. Flooding is when you subject yourself to the thing that you fear the most or the stimulus that you associate fear with.
The problem with NLP is that you have to find someone who knows how to do it and the problem with flooding is that it's too painful a process. The problem with CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy is that you really can't talk someone out of having OCD. So what is it that we are discussing then?
I'm talking about a process where you don't need a therapist of any kind, you don't need any special skills. I'm talking about a process which you can learn and use every time you feel fear towards anything. It's a method that once you learn, you will have for life and you can apply it not only to OCD but any other fear or anxiety.
Again, so what is it? It, quite simply means that you are retraining your mind to be OCD free by thinking like someone that doesn't have it. You could name it Ocd-gone-in-seven-days. but naming this process would give weight to OCD and we want to get to a point where we don't think about it at all. So what we are learning is the skill of how to retrain the way that we think so that we can lead happier lives!
It's something that you can do consciously without having to trick your mind. You talk yourself consciously through the things that you fear, but there is a special way to do this. Here are some of the things that you can do right now to get started.
When you feel like you need to perform a ritual, tell yourself this consciously. for example, if you feel like you have to keep touching a door knob because you fear that if you don't your mother's going to get sick, tell yourself, "I feel like my mother will get sick if I don't touch this door knob a certain amount of times." What you are doing is bringing out the subconscious thought into a conscious thought, where you can process it logically.
Now you may laugh at that statement and be like man, something must be wrong with me if I fear that and think like that! It's not true, you just realized that you made a faulty association, now what about the problem of you know that it doesn't make sense but you feel like you have to do it anyway?
You can't will yourself not to care, you can say to yourself, I know that this is bothering me, but I also know that if I don't touch the doorknob nothing will happen to my mother, anything in my mind that tells me it would is not logical and therefore is wrong, so I choose not to do this ritual.
This is when you will feel anxiety. You can say to yourself, "I will let this anxiety happen, knowing it's just sensations. I know that I will get worse if I do the ritual and I will get better if I don't do the rital, it's that simple.".
If I don't perform rituals, I am OCD free! Here's why it's important to start like this, because with the other types of treatments, you need other people's skills, or you need to trick your mind, or you need to go through painful exercises not knowing why, it's hard for people with OCD to trust people and especially harder to trust someone to cure you when you don't fully understand how the process works yourself.
By starting this way, you will command control of your own mind and learn this skill that can be applied to anything and you will learn how to be independent and it will save you a fortune. Of course this is not everything you have to do, but it's a good start that you can do right now that will bring results that will last a lifetime!

The top 5 ways to become OCD free
The first truth: Many people that claim to be experts will tell you up and down that you cannot cure OCD. This is not true at all. In order for you to become OCD free, you must not limit your beliefs. You can only do what you first believe in your mind.
The second truth: I know it's possible because I've done it myself. If you still suffer from OCD, you simply don't have enough information and that is your biggest problem.
The third truth: In fact the truth about OCD is it takes work to become OCD free. It took OCD awhile to develop in your life and you can't get rid of it overnight. Don't fall for programs that tell you that you can get rid of it instantly. You can achieve your goal of becoming OCD free by having a goal and applying massive action toward achieving it. You simply need the right action plan.
The fourth truth: The cure of OCD required mental exercises that you must repeat so that you can change your bad habits, your habits of performing rituals.
The fifth truth: You must train your mind to think like someone who does not have OCD. People without OCD spend little or no time thinking about OCD whatsoever.
So here are the five truths: one: believe that it is possible to become OCD free. two: You need to get the right information so that you can know how to become OCD free. three: It's not easy to become OCD free. There is no magic formula. You will find that usually the big secret is that there is no secret, just a lot of determination and action. This is what will get you real results. four: You must be willing to do mental exercises that will enable you to kick bad OCD habits. five: You must learn how to think like someone who does not have OCD.
The above truths, if applied will guarantee that you will become OCD free. You must realize that most people are simply too lazy to do what it takes to become OCD free and so they are stuck. I have met people who are just used to their OCD and they really don't want to become OCD free, they feel like they are part of a group.
Don't associate with the online OCD communities, this will just keep your OCD around you and make it stronger in you. These people enable each other and will keep you down. The intentions of the authors of these communities are good willed, but the results that they wanted usually are the opposite. If you keep talking to other people who have OCD, what makes you think that you're suddenly going to become OCD free?
No, instead, surround yourself with people who don't have OCD and you will find that you are the equivalent of the five people you hang out with the most, so if you want to become OCD free, you have to hang out with people who don't have OCD.
Take action: Do what is listed above and get around people who are OCD free. You will then be able to model their actions and see how they think about things and how they approach and react to things and this will teach you some ways to change your thinking.

Obsessive-compulsive help - Use faith like a child to start becoming OCD free today!
Did you ever see the part in the Bible where it talks about having faith just like a child?
there is a good explanation for that. Children don't need a scientific explanation for everything. They don't need certain kinds of proof.
We as adults sometimes want so much proof that there is just no way that it can be provided so we end up doing nothing about our situation.
Sometimes people lose out on great opportunities because instead of going with their gut, they let other people or lack of proof stop them from taking action.
How does this help with OCD? A lot of people out there are exposed to different programs that talk about OCD and claim this and claim that and when they get the product, it's just not very useful and probably was written by someone that didn't even have OCD.
So this does not exclude due diligence, but what I'm saying is simply this, if you want to get rid of OCD, sometimes you have to due your due diligence, find a product that you have a good gut feeling about and just do it. Don't just try it for a few weeks and if it doesn't work give up. You have to try until it works.
So to help cure yourself of OCD, have faith like a child. You've got to believe that you can get rid of your obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even though you don't have any proof that you can see, you've just got to believe because if you don't believe, it's not going to happen anyway.
A lot of doctors have said that people who have a positive outlook on their situation and those who pray have a better chance of a more positive outcome! We should really consider this, as some of these reports are from non religious doctors. Whether you are religious or not, faith is a universal principle.
Here's an example: Let's picture the situation where two people are suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. One of them believes that they will have it for the rest of their life. While the other one believes that they can be cured. Which one do you think will most likely find the cure? It's the one who believes there is a cure and then looks for it!
If you suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, you should consider believing that there is the possibility that you can be free from it. Don't let anyone, even doctors tell you otherwise, you should not limit your beliefs to what other people limit their beliefs to. A lot of times, if we listen to other people's negative beliefs, we get stuck in their box, this is something that we don't want. Instead what we should do is trust our own instincts and go with what our heart is telling us.
Remember the saying, "You can do whatever you put your mind to?" That is very powerful and usually true. So have faith like a child, watch how it will empower you get rid of your obsessive-compulsive disorder and have a more fulfilling life!
Take action: Today what you want to do is think about having faith like a child so that you can start to become OCD free now!

Part 12: A cool OCD trick from one of my readers
When you are ruminating over something over & over & trying to distract yourself & that doesnt work & you are just plain stuck, take a big bown fill it with ice water & plunge your face into about 5-10 seconds. (youlll learn how long works for you). When my dr told me this I think I rolled my eyes. LOL But it REALLY works. Now I have even read somewhere that this "trick" has been monitored on a pet scan & it has SHOWN the difference this makes in an OCD brain. Isnt that incredible? So simple & no drugs involved & it works. I guess it sort of "rewires" the brain, is how I heard my internist out it.
But the bottom line is that I when something is stuck in my head, its just STUCK. No matter what it is. Thought that plays over & over, handwashing . Whatever. And this works for ME. If it works for me it will work for anybody. lol
Post away. I hope it does help somebody else. Im not sure why I never thought of posting it before. But it REALLY WORKS!!
Looking forward to hearing from you again soon.
