Let's talk about ambivalence. When people say they don't want to do exposures, but they're in my office, it's usually clear to me that they're of two minds.⁠

Signs are meant to indicate the possible presence of something. Per the Cambridge Dictionary, a sign is "a notice giving information, directions, a warning, etc.." And feelings, like anxiety, often are warnings. But you don't believe that you're definitely going to catch on fire because the fire alarm goes off when you're in a building. Believing that something bad is going to happen because you're anxious is, essentially the same thing.⁠

Stopping to smell the roses may be a cliché, but it's a cliché for a reason. 👃🌻⁠

While this brilliant quote by @johann.hari is actually related to the tendency to get black and white in the context of drug prohibition, this quote can easily read as a description of what happens with OCD.⁠

When triggers come up, our natural first instinct is usually dread, terror and the strong urge to run in the opposite direction. And boy do I hear that. I've been there. ⁠

This phrase makes a great deal of sense - for most people. It's good to be safe. Believe me, I'm not suggesting we throw the baby out with the bath water here.⁠

On today’s episode of Purely OCD, @theocdtherapist and @theobsessivemind pick up where they left off in their discussion of mental compulsions.They define and discuss more subtypes of mental compulsions. They also talk about helpful versus unhelpful thinking through the lens of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. As always, they answer questions from viewers who tuned in live.

"Listen to your gut!" say all the platitude lovers out there. The problem? Trusting your gut isn't particularly wise, even for people who don't have OCD or anxiety disorders. ⁠
