Most sources of information on OCD, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, are geared towards treating the symptoms caused by the problem, and not helping you find the real root of it, or actually cure it, and therefore so your OCD can be treated inappropriately. The big picture isn’t shown, and therefore you can’t make the right decisions based on that information. You may not have been in a better situation than when you first started looking for these kinds of sources of help. Now you can learn just how possible it is to beat your OCD from someone who’s been through exactly what you’ve been through! You see, you’re in luck because you’ve found someone with experience in dealing with it personally!
You must learn about your problem before solving it. It is a necessary first step. The more you know about any problem, the better equipped you will be to solve it. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that OCD is simply a habit, caused by thoughts that your mind finds important, and not an actual disorder or disease at all. Thoughts like these are often harmful in the long run, interfering with your life by taking away time, happiness, and experiences from everyday life. It is often unnecessary and the rituals to satisfy them can be exhausting. Take some of that time to learn how to stop it!
The next thing to face is the fact that while your obsessive-compulsive disorder can be overcome, it takes time, and you’ll need to build up the patience to work with it. Your mind can’t make changes like these overnight! Stopping OCD is contradictory to what you would naturally think would stop it, which is why it seems difficult or impossible to do so. My methods involve a series of little tricks that are easy to learn and will help make the whole process seem so much easier than you ever thought possible! You CAN achieve your goal of stopping OCD!
Although medication is not the answer, it is possible to take some of its forms while using this system. Sometimes the physical and emotional effects that can result from your OCD may require this medication so that you can continue to live your life normally, and while this is not directly harmful, keep in mind that this will not cure your obsessive-compulsive disorder on its own. Another important thing to understand is that seeing more than one therapist or counselor at a time can cause confusion or frustration. I will show you in later materials how you can not only control this problem temporarily, but permanently!
You can be successful if you remember that solving your OCD problem will take time. Giving up shouldn’t be an option! These thought processes are not a disease, but they must be treated to break their habits! Consider whether or not the person helping you has experienced OCD, because it’s vital to learn from someone who really knows what works and what doesn’t. Don’t look for multiple solutions at once. Confusion or even preventing a method from working correctly can occur if you don’t stick with it.
