ROCD Exposure Ideas
Hi! Does anyone have suggestions on ROCD exposures? Thanks!
Hi! Does anyone have suggestions on ROCD exposures? Thanks!
for me I’ve wrote down “I’m moving too fast” this was a huge trigger to me when people would make this comment. I did this and replied to my thought with “so what” or “who cares” this comment doesn’t even bother me a quarter as much as it used to
@username2002 Thank you!
for me i’d say this feeling feels so familiar this must mean my partner isnt right for me or i dont love my partner anymore these are straight up fears of mine and settling into them helps you separate yourself from the thoughts
I have ROCD and I doing ERP with my NOCD therapist, her approach is to do imaginary ERP (writing stuff down and read it etc.) But I won't get triggered by stuff like that. PLEASE, does anyone else have any other examples or Ideas of kinds of exposures I could do? Here are some details: So my core fears are: "What if it's not OCD but really no love" What if you hurt her What if you never get rid of the stuff What if you just try convincing yourself you love her. So it always works like this: Trigger builds up "naturally" (due to stress, or life changes or if I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend) OCD comes crashing down on me with a massive doubt like "what if you really don't love her and it's no OCD" I try to stand the affliction and stick with my point of view and don't question it (That I love her and it's just OCD) I give in (I am not really doing much, it's more like a light switch in my head that OCD switches from standing my point to be unsure and in question about if I love her) So the thing is, I tried to analyze the shit out of this stuff and recreate situations but I have a really hard time triggering myself, it just won't work. Furthermore I think I might have ADHD cause I am literally ALWAYS distracted, so it's really hard for me to focus. On the other hand, when I WAIT for OCD to come fucking naturaly, it's so overwhelming and I fail. PLEASE HELP ME. My therapist seems to doesn't have a real solution for it.
Hi everyone, My therapist is not a fan of ERP, we are doing a compassionate based therapy and she really wants to get to the bottom of what is behind my OCD and core fears. However, we have been trying CFT for over a year and I am still struggling with CFT and day to day life. I am really keen to try ERP and she has said yes if I come up with suggestions. Would be very grateful for some ideas of good first ERP exercises for someone with SOCD and ROCD. Thanks in advance!
I have a lot of change going on in my life and I just saw my girlfriend after being 2 months apart. I missed her a lot but the whole day was feeling a bit off mostly with rocd. I’ve been trying to do exposures but none give me that crazy feeling and it’s been worrying me that I don’t care anymore. I also have been struggling with rocd for almost a year now. Does anyone have any clues as to what makes exposures really expose lol??
