I get you! I've thrown objects and have screamed at my husband. Now that we have a 1-year-old I don't want to have any more outbursts nor do I want her to be exposed to that. But I definitely have a hard time if my OCD is acting up I just didn't exposure and everything's going on around me. Maybe doing something like sitting down In meeting or giving myself 15 minutes of my own time a day would help.

What is correct ERP for mental compulsions?
If your mind purposely keeps fetching a repetitive word, and you’re afraid it will never go away, is the ERP therapy to STOP the mind from doing it? Or ALLOW the mind to do it, and not react? Also, is repeating a word in your head a mental compulsion? Or would that be the obsession? So then what’s the compulsion? Posting on here? Lol

Not making ERP a compulsion?
Anyone have any tips on not making ERP a compulsion? I find myself sometimes wanting to do exposures in order to make myself feel better (feel my anxiety go down and feel relief). 😅
