Part 2: OCD cure overview, step-by-step

How OCD is formed.

Did you ever wonder how OCD formed in your life?

I used to wonder that myself, until I realized and learned certain principles and ideas about how our minds work.

One of the first things I noticed was the our brain creates 'coping mechanisms.'

When we go through a stressful situation, we think of ways to cope with it.

An example is when we were little, we may have put our head under the sheets to protect us from the evil monster in the closet.

Now that we are adults, we may repeat rituals to ourselves or do certain actions that may be based in superstition, such as kiss the cross we may be wearing around our necks for good luck.

When we become really afraid that something may happen, we get anxiety about it.

We then may turn to one of these relatively normal habits, like saying, "knock on wood." or other things like that to deal and cope with the stress of a situation.

When we start to fear that the bad thing will happen if we don't do that, that's when it becomes OCD and that's how it's formed...

Now that you know roughly how OCD formed in your life, in my next post I'm going to cover some ways in which you can start becoming OCD free yourself!
