Erp and rumination for PureO
So, I think I’ve had enough time with out ocd symptoms to know that my intrusive thoughts are just that, intrusive thoughts. However, I’m having a spike right now and again it feels so real. I have tried erp before and I would ruminate the whole time after the exposure and I would try to stop it but rumination for me is so automatic. I don’t event know I’m doing it sometimes. I would want to start erp again but how can I stop rumination? I know if I don’t stop it, then I’m not doing the prevention part which would then not benefit me at all . Anyone has successfully stopped ruminating after being triggered?
