Hey, I would love some advice on how people stay discipline with doing their exposures and resisting their compulsions. I really do believe erp and NOCD really works but it’s hard to stay disciplined when your whole mind is against you, especially on the days you feel like you don’t deserve treatment. I understand ERP is a behavioral treatment and it’s about doing the exercises regardless of how you feel. Would love some tips on how everyone stays disciplined!

How To Stay Disciplined Doing Exposures And Resisting Compulsions?

Real Events OCD

False Memory OCD

I just remind myself there are people counting on me and I make an effort to be like my old self. I get up and go to the gym, go hiking, go to work and keep pushing forward

I’m happy to hear this because this is the same thing that motivates me. I also have people that count on me. Thank you, I’m glad to hear that other people have this mindset 

@Mrhopeful101 Yeah, they even know what I obsess over and can get past it. I need to make an effort for them. Making myself suffer only hurts them
