This is such an informative video. Things I’ve taken away from -ERP - sit with thought and worst scenarios get used to it - Self compassion - objectivity - innocent till proven guilty not the other way around - uncertainty blanket - real memories can merge with intrusive thoughts - drop the rumination (a compulsion) - allow yourself to live a life of joy regardless of what might happen - we don’t choose thoughts and feelings , they choose us - take the risk of living life and I won’t wait for a knock on the door, or someone to find out. And if they do I’ll apologise and move on
I got hit with I guess this type over 2 months ago and have been going over a few decades trying to figure something out. Out of the blue I feel like I've done something. As time goes on I'm kind of living life as if I did do it and I might not have. This always affects the people and things I care about the most. If it keeps going there will be nothing left to care about

What are other people doing - do they just move on? ‘Ah there’s not enough evidence for that *see u later intrusive thought / real event memory*. Am I willing to allow the uncertainty to be a cloud , practise it which helps move on?
Understanding OCD is like opening a very obvious spam message and engaging with it, so the computer allows more in and so we respond more. Find a way to change the algorithm . Guilt and precious real life experience can fuel false memory
What do you do about feeling the need to confess something that maybe a real event or false memory? Even if I were to confess I would have to confess that I'm not sure or not?
My brother has turned himself in numerous times for what I believe are false memories. There’s never been any evidence to support his claims, so nothing has ever been done. But he’s also schizophrenic. I think once they find that out, they just write it all off as imagined. My gut instinct is that if you feel the need to turn yourself in, it probably didn’t happen. Most people, when they commit a crime, don’t want to be caught. And if you’re remembering something that’s causing you grief/anxiety, I doubt you would have done it to begin with. That’s just my rationale.

Those are pronouns! They are words that are used in the place of a person's/object's name! Ex: Steve went to [his] house. [He] is busy. Ethan Smith is just telling others what pronouns to use for him. :)

Ethan Smith (he/him/his)?? What it means? Why?
