I had a hard time with the goal of this exercise. Is there a scale of anxiety? Should it be reducing while I do the script. So you basically say a thing that is untrue or causes anxiety until it doesn’t cause anxiety?
I cant even imagine how it must have been for some of you guys to have had dealt with this for years not knowing and being confused on a daily basis for so long, last month I suffered terribly with harm ocd daily with uncontrollable terror and anxiety because I didn't know what was happening. Luckily I found this channel and others and found out what was wrong within the first 2 weeks. I still suffer with it but I'm learning alot and am seeking treatment on his website you're all warriors I have so much respect for you. Love you guys stay strong
Me too - I found out within 2 months. Currently doing ERP and scripts and let me tell you, THERE IS HOPE. I’m a qualified psychologist and have OCD, let me tell you, OCD is a jigsaw puzzle and is full of irony. I have been doing audio and scripts for 2 days now. You have to bring the thoughts to the forefront and allow yourself to be desensitised. It is a process but know that it DOES work.
For parents of teens w/OCD. My teenager is currently taking the online course. I highly recommend the course it's a comprehensive step-by-step guide to understanding and treating OCD. Nathan Peterson's videos are hopefully and positive ...perfect for teens!
Brother you doing a great favor to all of us suffering from real event ocd.I didn't even know that the thing I was suffering from has a name until you came up.Thanks for helping and guiding us from such a scarry thing like this.. love from Bangladesh🇧🇩
Hey, I never thought of it this way before! Sounds like a pretty cool way to conquer OCD & certain fears. Might give it a try! Thanks a lot for this video, Justin & Nathan! Much love.
Say to the rumination, "you belong --- I hear you, I hear the fear that is making you want to ruminate" and then do nothing. It's miraculous what simply feeling and hearing your emotions can do.
what if your intrusive thoughts aren't exactly fears or even "what ifs" because you don't believe on any level they might happen but they're deeply disturbing images & you can't stop them from looping? i don't really have compulsions, & if it's during a busy day i can usually just keep doing what i gotta do but when i'm alone or at night i can get stuck in really bad loops. & the uncertainty script doesn't feel helpful to me because i...wasn't worried about the thing, i was just uncontrolably picturing the thing. like how do i tell my imagination, "go home, you're drunk."
Thank you so much Nathan ❤️❤️ your videos are helping me so much while I'm awaiting therapy and I've learned so much from your channel alone and you give me so much hope and you make me feel like everything will be okay :)
Hey- please can someone help me? I struggle with ROCD and have been for about 2 years now. However- a new thoughts come up that is scaring me. Whilst being intimate with my partner, I became uncomfortable and wanted to change. I didn’t vocalise this and whilst in the moment my partner didn’t really notice. Normally- I wouldn’t question this but my brain is now screaming at me- he shouldn’t have done that, he crossed a line and it’s even going as far to say it was non-consensual. (It was, I never said no or became visibly uncomfortable- I know he’d have stopped if that was the case). However my brain won’t let up. I don’t know what to think or believe. Does anyone have similar experience or advice?
Another channel talks about curing saving things / overwhelm with decisions / etc minimalism versus clutter ocd with ERP. What are examples of those scripts
hi nathan my current obsession is a thought of having to break up with my partner and urges to do it. how can i expose myself to it despite the fact that im not willing to act on this thought? thank u so muchhh
She's my wife, how long am I supposed to focus on her flaw ( nose) ? Please help Another thing , when I focus on her flaw, if she is turning her face away , should I try to see the other side ?
Have you ever written an exposure script before? How did it go? 😃
And with Suicidal OCD how can I make it?
Hey Nathan, any script for real event OCD (guilt)
I had a hard time with the goal of this exercise. Is there a scale of anxiety? Should it be reducing while I do the script. So you basically say a thing that is untrue or causes anxiety until it doesn’t cause anxiety?

I keep saying “I’m hallucinating and reality isn’t real and I’m delusional” posting it here to increase my exposure
I'm struggling with the same OCD theme right now! We´ll get through this together, keep fighting and working at it! :)
Ur going insane ;)

Great explanation between getting the fear out of imagination and getting it into a script. Sounds powerful ❤
OMG I LOVE THIS CHANNELLLLLL! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You’ve been really helping me with my hocd and tocd man, thank you.
Thx a loooot, you don’t know how much you have helped me with my ocd. Hope your channel keeps growing!!!
Thanks again, excellent video. Changing lives, educating not only the OCD sufferer, but their loved ones as well.
Before treatment i was using scripts as compulsions to make believe that all is going to be okay. Now i have to try the opposite!
what if your intrusive thoughts aren't exactly fears or even "what ifs" because you don't believe on any level they might happen but they're deeply disturbing images & you can't stop them from looping? i don't really have compulsions, & if it's during a busy day i can usually just keep doing what i gotta do but when i'm alone or at night i can get stuck in really bad loops. & the uncertainty script doesn't feel helpful to me because i...wasn't worried about the thing, i was just uncontrolably picturing the thing. like how do i tell my imagination, "go home, you're drunk."
You may have compulsions you don't see
How to deal with cancer coming back ocd?

hi nathan
my current obsession is a thought of having to break up with my partner and urges to do it. how can i expose myself to it despite the fact that im not willing to act on this thought? thank u so muchhh
Imaginal exposers got rid of my Harm ocd
Can this script or created audio be used instead of or in place of compulsions?
How do I start to write it? Do I write it as if it has happened or that it might happen? I get different answers and I don't know how to start.
Nathan kind of made me anxious
She's my wife, how long am I supposed to focus on her flaw ( nose) ? Please help
Another thing , when I focus on her flaw, if she is turning her face away , should I try to see the other side ?
Nobody nose 🤷🏽♂️
We have nose idea
❤
what are scripts you can write for false memory ocd
Definitely don’t post a harm exposure and response on FB!! Lol they don’t understand it.😂😂😂😂
Pls tell me the ocd is convert to another disorder 😭😭 any body tell me ans 🙄🙄
What about for suicidal OCD ?
I have harm ocd it all works the same.. you have to vividly imagine yourself actually doing your thoughts and the thoughts and feelings go away
Exposure scripts
💛💛
