    i tell myself that my intrusive thoughts are suggestion and i can say no and move on my day.

    "Becoming used to discomfort" is a game-changer!
  • @irisdanagher
    Wow never heard someone who actually knows how it feels for the patient.
  • I'm laughing at how accurate this video is, it's like listening to someone verbally announce the actual language of ocd, hit the nail on the head!

    The only thing certain in life is uncertainty
  • The extensive quarantine led me to have many intrusive thoughts. Your old videos helped very much. I couldn't be more grateful when I saw you uploading new videos now. Your advice has been treasure to me. Keep going!

    I’ve had OCD/PTSD since I was 4 and the “it’s a water pistol” is amazing advice

    For most of us, dysfunctional beliefs which we developed in childhood/adolescence is the gas for the OCD fire. I had a particularly dysfunctional and traumatic adolescence and there are so many themes and doubts that my OCD can get triggered by. I sat and wrote down all of my dysfunctional beliefs which were conditioned in my younger years and there are SO many of them.

    This is a life-changing video for me. I feel so much more confident about what I need to do now to fix my OCD. This was the missing piece of the puzzle, so to speak, knowing that certainty comes from focusing on the long-term, not the short-term. Thank you so much, Katie! I love your videos; they are always so helpful to me!

    Fantastic video. Your videos helped me a lot many years ago and it is so good to see some new ones now that I need some guidance again.
