Response Prevention is in my opinion the most critical component of any exposure therapy, and without it, the treatment will likely be ineffective. Response Prevention means that you are resisting the urge to do certain physical and mental behaviors and rituals in an effort to calm your anxiety or discomfort NOT only during an exposure but after an exposure and anytime you are feeling anxious or triggered.

When clients engage in avoidance, safety or compulsive behaviors, they reinforce the idea that their anxiety is justified and that their fears are legitimate.
The purpose of doing exposures and response prevention is to give your brain opportunities to learn that you are safe and to learn that you are capable of coping with your thoughts, sensations and feared situations.

Response Prevention includes resisting physical and mental compulsions while not avoiding those triggers and not performing any safety behaviors and reassurance seeking.

That’s the hard part because I always want to Comfort myself when anxiety gets high

Is breath work during exposure considered a resistance

I am at my wits end with this disease. I have pedophilia ocd, and the fear of losing control or harming someone or myself, I write down on a post it note I’m not a pedophile, and I would never hurt myself or anyone else. I soon realized this was a compulsion and I was obsessed over not loosing this note, I ended up loosing it then I copied the same thing in a post it and taped it to my key and now I’m obsessing over what if I lose the key or what if the tape becomes bad and the post it gets ruined then maybe I will forget I’m not a pedophile and I wouldn’t hurt myself or anyone. I think the post it is a compulsion, but I also don’t want to memory hoard “I’m not a pedophile” and “I wouldn’t hurt myself or anyone” what should I do about this issue? Throw away the post it and go through the hell of not having it? Eventually hopefully forgetting about it and the thoughts

Is it normal to be totally exhausted after exposures?

[ritwik]

I am so confused.. i have sensorimotor ocd and i see so many contradictory statements on the internet..some therapists ask you to not pay attention to the intrusive thoughts while some ask you to 'focus more' on your intrusive thoughts.. i have no access to a good therapist here, so I would greatly appreciate if you could answer
