focused on breathing again

Your OCD is telling you this. Try mindfulness (I like 5-4-3-2-1 senses one & it is not breathing related). Then realize this is a thought and try one of these methods: https://www.shalanicely.com/aha-moments/erp-scripting-for-ocd/ - using that you may or may be breathing deeply enough https://www.shalanicely.com/aha-moments/shoulders-back-the-man-in-the-park/ - tell yourself that the man in the park is yelling at you that you are breathing wrong & he’s not right Hope these help.

@Erin P thank you so much

@r0s1e You’re welcome.

I have been in ERP IOP treatment with a few people with with the same concern but don’t remember what exposures as it was a number of years ago but I know there are ways to address breathing issues with ERP.

@Erin P i’ll discuss it with my therapist- thank you!
