OCD is your symptom - Let's face the truth about some of the underlying causes!
Published 2019-03-24
My OCD recovery course has over sixty videos that will teach you what anxiety is, how to interrupt it, how to reprogram your brain and desensitise your body, then, how to see life (and re-engage with life) differently so it can never return.
It is by becoming a new person, who thinks and behaves in new ways that will allow you to find more calmness, confidence and direction.
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is explained simply in just 3 minutes with tips and help for your recovery!
People tend to focus on the symptoms of OCD, rOCD, hOCD and pure O - rather than researching what the causes of OCD may be and what can be done to reduce the underlying anxiety and fear based reactions.
The anxiety specialists' knowledge is shared with you in a simple and no-nonsense manner.
I call it COD not OCD, Carefully Orchestrated Dilemmas – typically, anxious people run dozens of ‘what if’ scenarios in their minds until they begin to frighten themselves. They feel that they are not in control, however, the reverse is true, they are very in control of what they do (or don’t do), they are very in-control of stopping people around them doing things, they are very in-control of not going to work, not facing the world, not going shopping…..

Best Explanation Ever. YOU ARE SAVING PEOPLE'S LIVES I CAN NEVER EVER IN MY WHOLE LIFE THANK YOU ENOUGH SIR . EVER!

PEOPLE NEED TO STOP THINKING OCD IS WANTING EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT.... it’s not 😔
-
I never thought of it as having an addiction to control or the fear of being out of control, but now that I am thinking of it like that it makes sense completely. To all of you who also suffer with OCD and are here to understand yourselves better, I know how hard it is, and I hope things get easier for you, because I know how hard it can be. Especially when people think perfectionism and OCD are the same thing.

Your explanation is so on point. OCD is way to cope with anxiety. Once we become aware of what's causing the anxiety and let it go. We break free from ocd.

I've had it come and go. It's back again at the moment. It often takes on different themes for me and makes me feel so bad. But this video is very reassuring.

For any body is reading... I'M have OCD from 17 years now. I Destroyed it twice and came back now. This is what you should know... OCD In like suger... You brain need it to fe good if you lstien to your thoughts.. And the will ask you for more.. If you don't listen.. Your brain will give you stress and emotional pain and will make you think that horrible things will happen to you because you do not do what the thoughts is telling you to do. Here is the point.. More you do... More the OCD will be stronger and deeper. The ONLY way without meditation to stop OCD... IS TO STOP listening to ANY thoughts suddenly. And take the pain and stress. After a few days, weeks, months it will be gone.. Maybe after years will come back if you face any big stress.. Or depression attack. So be away from stress.. Love yourself and live in peace.

This is making too much sense to me. I’ve never been diagnosed. Thank you so much!!! I’ve been feeling this way for the longest time now and my anxiety has gotten worse over the course of years. I’m effectively trying to overcome it and videos like these help me keep an end goal in mind.

I watched this and suddenly everything my therapists have ever done makes more sense.

This short video sums it up very well. Thank you for providing.

I have anxiety and OCD. Every time my friend comes to my house my OCD gets in the way and we end up fighting, I get hurt she gets hurt. My anxiety sparks.
-
Thank you for all theese videos. All of these videos help me get closer to being a little better with my OCD and anxiety <3

Starting to exercise has really helped improve my anxiety even if so slightly. Just the thought of being able to see my body improve slowly but surely helps increase my self esteem. I've never had difficulty acknowledging that this disorder will most likely be life-long, but what really helps me get through each day is being able to tell myself NOTHING is permanent. So while I have bursts of dreading anxiety and overthinking, I know that eventually the happy moments will return again. For everyone out there struggling with this, my heart goes out to you <3 we are not always defined by what our brain tries to convince us of.

This makes me understand myself so much, I believe I'm finally having a break through. Growing up my mother had an issue with making us feel guilty for things we weren't even thinking about or thinking about doing somethings she'd accuse us of was traumatizing. Now as an adult on my own I'm creating these scenarios and guilt in my mind that never happened but all the feelings are there.

Thank you for referring to it as a type of addiction! Obviously much different than addiction to substances, but that pull to perform compulsions and wanting with every fibre of your being not to engage in them, but then doing them anyway is very much what I imagine addiction to be like. It’s like being turned against yourself and you really have to fight to get your life back. It absolutely can be done, but it won’t be easy. Great video.

sometimes I think about life and get scared about what I will do in life

Great video man!

Hi! Thank you for this video! I have OCD (ask my Doctor) and people always think it's about being germ-free or "perfect". I can finally show them this video! Here's my OCs: - Touching. Let's just say I touch a certain key (or button, like I am right now) if it doesn't feel right I have to keep on doing it until it does. Even while I'm writing this, I have to keep touching with different hands and fingers until it feels "right" - Googling EVERYTHING. People always tell me I always research things because I'm a "smart child", but it's because I'm worried (anxious). To keep it short, I research A LOT because I care. FUN FACT: How I figured out I had OCD is by researching! - Worrying. I always am so worried about hurting someone and causing someone pain. I always look out for everyone -- close or not -- and I always want to protect. Whenever I see somebody's in pain, I want to (and try to) remove their pain and make them feel better. That's why everybody in school always relies on me as a friend to talk to! In result though, I blamed and still always blame everything on myself. Even when my Doctor wanted me to get a Therapist, I said no and still say no because I wanted and still want to solve everything by myself. It's my fault I have OCD and I should solve this all on my own. - Organizing. I already replied to someones comment about this talking about how I always gotta re-organize parts of my room and that's why it takes me months to clean. People always tell me that BECAUSE of my OCD I should be able to clean within minutes, but it's actually the opposite. That's it! I was actually diagnosed with OCD a few weeks ago, but I had it for years! Thank you so much for this video! As in 11-year-old girl, I can finally share a video to my friends about my disorder! :D

Oh my god 😢 i just found your channel! I feel so understood! I'm not diagnosed OCD, I havent sought out professional help, but this anxiety and these obsessive thoughts have been an ongoing problem my entire life! I've just started realizing in my 30s that many of my thought processes might be irrational and that people might be justified in getting irritated with me about my not being able to let go of and hyperfixating on things for months and years at a time. And constantly feeling like I can't resolve the answers to things.

Thanks for making these videos. You have helped me and this will be in many others. I can't thank you enough ♡

Really excellent. Good thinking!
