Hey everyone. I’ve been super absent on this app lately. Typically that’s due to school, but I finally have a better explanation. After an eye movement therapy session two weeks ago, I am officially two weeks free of SO-OCD rumination and compulsions! January 12 2021 was my first SO-OCD intrusive thought, meaning it’s been almost a year. I haven’t felt this… okay since last December. I just wanted to share this with all of you. I am so, so happy. I hope everyone here is well. To all struggling- YOU GOT THIS!

Awesome!! Ya mind describing more of your experience with eye movement therapy? Curious as to what it exactly is. Thanks!

Yeah! It’s called Accelerated Resolution Therapy. It’s centered around the same eye movement as REM. It essentially rewires your brain through eye movement. Here’s a good link. It may be more centered around PTSD, so the guided imagery is a bit different. https://www.goodtherapy.org/learn-about-therapy/types/accelerated-resolution-therapy
