Each time that you choose to face a fear instead of avoiding it, you're teaching your brain that you can handle the discomfort. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

Habituation is one way your brain can learn during ERP. When you resist compulsions, your brain notices that anxiety doesn't last forever. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

Compulsions reinforce the OCD cycle because the brain thinks that obsessions are important and that compulsions are necessary. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

While compulsions may reduce anxiety short-term, they teach the brain that compulsions are needed, strengthening the OCD cycle. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

Moral Scrupulosity OCD isn't about wanting to do the wrong thing, but it's about becoming trapped in constant doubt about whether you're a "good" person. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

In Harm OCD, intrusive thoughts can feel frightening and convincing, but they are ego-dystonic, meaning they go against a person's values and what they want. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

People with ROCD may see intrusive doubts as evidence that something is wrong. However, the distress comes from the need for certainty, not from the relationship. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

Meta OCD can make you doubt your diagnosis, treatment, or whether you're "doing recovery correctly." The urge to seek certainty can be a compulsion. #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt

OCD can make intrusive thoughts feel convincing because our brain responds to these thoughts as threats. This is why OCD can feel so real! #belongocd #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdresearch #ocdtreatment #mentalhealth #anxiety #exposureresponseprevention #therapy #cbt
