I have the mindfulness workbook for OCD by John hershfield which I love, I regularly watch YouTube videos with Chrissy Hodgens (this is really great if you suffer from pure o) and I listen to the OCD stories podcast literally everyday on my drive home from work. All of this in addition to medicine have really really helped a ton!
I also recommend The OCD Stories! I also follow some OCD Instagram pages, such as ocddoodles, madeofmillions, and ocdrecoveryuk
Jason peterson on yt - meditation , insomnia help , relaxation Mikhaila Peterson on yt- her story about her health problems and solving it with strick diet - inspired me to change diet and see if it helps CBD oil - relaxation , mood improvement Vitamins B - supplementing- I dont have panic attacks since i started taking vitamins B Positive thinking - this is hard but negative thinking can ruin the best day That's my recommendation
I think it was jason Stephenson
I was watching Ethan Smith’s two-part scrupulosity video with Jon Herschfield and Patrick McGrath and thought it was good. https://youtu.be/s6t17145IQ4 Going to use Fred Penzel’s book “Obsessive Compulsive Disorders: A Guide to Getting Well and Staying Well” to help me make my hierarchy this afternoon. “The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Washing” is moving. I tore a page out of it and have it on my wall.
‘feeling good the new mood therapy’ really helped me with the depression that comes with my OCD. it’s a book by david burns and i would highly recommend it
I love "The anxiety toolkit" a podcast with Kimberley Quinlan.
Following Instagram pages about ocd helps
I just found out I have OCD last February. I'm ashamed to say I had a really stereotypical idea of what OCD is and was very surprised to be diagnosed with it. I keep trying to learn more about OCD but every time I sit down to read something, watch a video, listen to a podcast etc... I can't stop myself from pausing just to fall into a thought spiral for hours, analyzing my brain and thought patterns and my whole childhood and past relationships and just everything. Ughhhhhhhhh. Any resources or tips for combating this, if this even made any sense lol, I have been very stuck on my brain today yikes (p.s. do you like my pfp? she's my dog, daisy. I love her very much)
I always recommend seeking professional help because it’s safer and way more effective to do it with a professional since they know EXACTLY what to do. But if you can’t see a professional right now and you have no idea when you’ll be able to seek help from an OCD therapist due to money or where you live, here’s an extensive list of tools and resources to help you get better and/or stay recovered. -Look into OCD and Anxiety’s YouTube channel. They have an OCD course you can do for a fee, -Download either the Calm app or Insight Timer app for guided meditations, -Read ALL the books by Lee Baer and Martin Seif on OCD and anxiety, -Look into Therapy in a Nutshell’s YouTube channel, -Start doing yoga! Because exercise is good for you. I suggest the YouTube channel Yoga with Adriene, -Subscribe and follow the YouTube channel, Psychology With Dr. Ana for great mental health content, -Start watching Thich Nhat Hanh’s guided meditations and talks on mindfulness. Also, buy his books on meditation and mindfulness, -Look into OCD International’s website if you’re international (or is the US but having issues finding help outside of NOCD) for help, -If you are looking for inpatient treatment for extreme OCD, look up Rogers Behavioral center’s website. You can even reach out to them for help, -How To Stop Rumination Video: https://youtu.be/CkcspsmLh9k?feature=shared -ERP scripting: https://www.shalanicely.com/aha-moments/erp-scripting-for-ocd/ -The Hidden Power of Swearing at Your OCD: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/beyond-the-doubt/201711/the-hidden-power-of-swearing-at-your-ocd -Taking The Power Away From OCD: https://www.treatmyocd.com/blog/taking-the-power-away-from-intrusive-thoughts -Worry Script: https://www.anxietycanada.com/sites/default/files/WorryScript.pdf -What is ERP therapy: https://iocdf.org/about-ocd/ocd-treatment/erp/ -What’s An OCD Trigger? https://psychcentral.com/ocd/what-is-an-ocd-trigger -Grounding Techniques: https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/grounding-techniques -OCD vs. Phobia Differences: https://www.treatmyocd.com/what-is-ocd/info/related-symptoms-conditions/ocd-vs-phobia-how-to-tell-the-difference
I’ve been wanting to further my own self help when it comes to OCD since I don’t have access to therapy just yet. Please give me your best recommendations !!❤️🩹
