Understanding how ocd operates is key.if you know what you are dealing with, then you know what the answer is.watching ocd videos like this each day keeps me in the right frame of mind.peace and best wishes to all my friends with this condition -you are not alone!!!!!!❤
My go to phrase I say (internally lol) to whichever obsessive thought when I see it start to come out of the back and start hovering around, "You don't have anything more to offer me so you've got to go on." I'm acknowledging that I see it for what it is and then I move it along. I'd love to think I'll get to a point when my thoughts don't linger in the back like ghosts that materialize, however briefly, when there is a trigger but therapy and learning this technique has certainly helped to reduce the absolute mental exhaustion I was dealing with before.
Hello I had read your book decades ago. I just found the title interesting and I was surprised to see the word Reid Wilson... Ah! Glad to see and hear you .
"Okay cool. I notice that I'm sweating. But I'm not gonna fixate on it, I'm not even gonna fix it. I'm just gonna be sweaty. I notice, and then I go back to whatever it is I was doing." This example got me to finally understand what "acceptance" is supposed to mean. Thank you!
The number one thing that stood out in this is that he said the topic has nothing to do with anything it's not the topic that is the problem there is always gonna be some topic some theme but it's always meaningless
This video is a bit old, but the amygdala isn't a switch, it is more of a volume control...a very complex one. It can be ON just a little causing a small level of dysfunction that can be extremely damaging in the long term
Treat like a mental game you can win. Exposure WITH attitude- I want what scares me. It's an aggressive sport- you need an attacking offence; (give me 2 servings & give it to me now,!). Find uncertainty then walk on without answering question. You win game moment by moment not by thinking long term. (He's almost saying the disease is timidness and your chaotic mind takes the offense)
His book " Don't Panic" freed me of attacks entirely as I practiced it's directions. It's now 35 years later and still holds true. I highly recommend his book. Also the books of Clair Weeks.
Very interesting, but what do you say to a person that has taken numerous medications and seen many therapist, only to be so paralyzed with the condition 🥲
The frontal cortex should be our filter, i.e. the filter often alluded to when one i said to have no filter -- acts before thinking. It should be made conditioned to override the atavistic impulses of the amygdala.
Thank you Dr Reid, Though I considered myself in great FREEDOM from OCD over the last years, I fell back in it during some very hard times the last few months. I want to tell you how your information is very clear and has helped me so much watching your OCD videos ‘right in the throes of that painful/threat’. I actually got so much from one of your videos on threat, it’s like, wow…it was made just for me😊I’m sure many people find your information so helpful in their lives. When anyone needs a boost or refresher, listen to Dr Reid Wilson, but, ‘we must do the work’👍
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. Thank you. 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 🤍🌈🤍🙏💌
I was diagnosed with OCD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

Here’s all you need - say this to your fearful mind “I’m the brain now - so relax, because this is how it’s going to go…”. Simply deciding which of your 2 brains is in charge will snap you out of being a slave to your subconscious fearful mind. It works. I’m the brain now.
