Super hard to control the mind. I have a comeback to every trigger. They’ve built up for a while before I sought treatment so maybe it’ll take a little longer

The moment you catch yourself doing it, immediately stop and do something else that’s more productive. If you are about to do a mental compulsion, take a few deep breaths and sit with the feelings.

I just try to distract and do something productive. It can be hard to do at first of course. I guess the ideal is do nothing.

What is correct ERP for mental compulsions?
If your mind purposely keeps fetching a repetitive word, and you’re afraid it will never go away, is the ERP therapy to STOP the mind from doing it? Or ALLOW the mind to do it, and not react? Also, is repeating a word in your head a mental compulsion? Or would that be the obsession? So then what’s the compulsion? Posting on here? Lol
