Tools to help along the way, been reading a lot of post since I’m new here, by no means have I mastered ocd I’m here to start erp and take my recovery to the next level, but I’ve had years of recovery in other areas and therapy and found lots of tools to help. ACT workbook was a huge help, therapist for sure! Self care, journaling, mindfulness, meditation, calling things what they are for example if I have an urge I say yo myself that’s an urge anyway to sum it up sometimes better to take an action towards recover than trying to find the right answer even if it’s small like lighting a nice smelling candle or calling a friend. By no means a substitute for erp just sone bonus help.
