The Only Way You Can Outsmart OCD

OCD is tricky. It can seem easy to outsmart. Maybe if I just argue with it, I can crush it with facts. Maybe if I just take preventative measures, it will leave me alone. Maybe if I just do what it wants, it will finally go away.

Sadly, those are all OCD traps.

There is only one way to outsmart OCD.

In this week’s Youtube video I talk about how to outsmart OCD by doing the one thing it doesn’t want you to do.

As a desperate parent I want to thank you for your videos. It's the only hope we have right now since we can't get an appointment for help anywhere. Unfortunately, we can't get my daughter to even give an inch when it comes to her OCD. But it gives me hope to watch your videos. Thank you for the work you do and making the videos accessable to the public.

What is the root cause of ocd? I can’t get a straight answer from the internet. Does it have to do with not having a strong sense of self? I feel like that may be the case.
