What Things Are Learned From OCD Therapy?

Main thing for me has been getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and letting go of expectations of how things "should" feel. For people with ocd, most things we value hardly ever feel the way we want them to or think they should feel

that’s a great way to explain it, thanks! <3

A big thing for has been to acknowledge the anxiety and the thoughts, and learn to accept them. Not try and fight them, but to see them as what they are, just thoughts. 

that sounds like a good way to handle them!

I found that just accepting the thoughts and not seeking reassurance makes me feel better in the long run.
