Wow this sentence "Guilt is something you feel to learn from the experience"👍🏼
Hey Nathan, can I request you to make a video that outlines the anxiety, shame and guilt we face due to our past mistakes ? I know a lot of people suffer from OCD of this kind as well. Thank you
Here is one I did on OCD and guilt. ua-cam.com/video/ULrjNW_j3HY/v-deo.html
Yes I just finished watching that! Thank you so much for your videos. They help a lot! :)
Nathan has the most soothing voice/personality - platonically!
Haha. Thanks!
THANKS to everyone who joined! You all are awesome! p.s. If anyone knows why the youtube chat on my video disappeared, let me know. 🤪 UPDATE: The chat appeared again!
Will you be doing another live?
Thank you for having this channel! I hope, all Ocd struggles will be strong together💙
Genuinely, your videos have completely changed my life. I’m so grateful to you and all your hard work in recording
Nathan, this is so helpful. What really helped me is if I have a thought and the thought leads to a compulsion that this is important and an urge to figure it out I need to put it in the OCD bucket. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
You’re an angel. Thank you for everything. I’d watch every single one of these! Please do these more often ☺️
Thanks for the confidence! I think I will continue to do these! 😁
This Q&A and all of your other videos (plus your Instagram page) have been SO incredibly helpful for me and others dealing with OCD, thank you so much!
Thanks so much my friend! I'll make more!
Thank you Nathan for doing this live! I learned a lot and feel I can start ditching some old patterns and [sneaky compulsions] now, after noticing that I was spending a lot of my time trying to get control when that just makes the recipe for OCD! Thanks 😊 please do more of these! I really enjoyed it!
Thanks for the kind words! I'll do more!
Thank you Nathan! I discovered your videos today and they are so helpful!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found me. I hope you're doing well!
Thank you, Nathan, for you incredible work! You’ve always been a source of light at the end of the tunnel to me. Your content is always helpful, and calming. I also appreciate you for answering my question, “How to convince your mind it’s the OCD talking?”, that was a great answer and I’m grateful. Bless you! 🤍✨
Thanks so much for your continued support! I always love seeing your comments.
Thank you so much for this, you answered many questions that have been on my mind. Your channel has helped me so much :)
I'm so glad!
I love you Nathan!!!! Thanks a tonne I just witnessed this thing OCD not so long ago and I was helpless and I found you! I asked some questions while going through the treatment all by myself and now I feel like I am really managing it well and I will keep going...Thanks a lot once again💖 for being generous to answer all my queries!
Thanks for watching! You're awesome!
So helpful! Yes, please keep doing more!
Thank you so much! I'm already looking forward to your next Q&A! You have no idea how much your videos help me! I wish you were my personal therapist too!
Thanks so much! I can see those who live in Texas or Utah! 😁
Rewatching tonight with my journal taking notes. You are so kind. Bless you ;-).

Awesome answers 😊
you are a living life saver thank you
Thank you for all you do! :)
My pleasure!
Just came across your video. I think it’s great. Been in Therpy for years with no change completely struggling only to realize I’ve had ocd undiagnosed all this time, I’ve lost so much because of it. Your comment about finding a good therapist is so important. I thought I was with quality licensed people going to Therpy almost weekly. How do you find someone in this area when you don’t know what to look for.
Thanks! I hope you do more videos like this!
More to come!
Thanks man! LIVE option is really interesting. Maybe you could do a live session on harm OCD in its different forms, that could be really interesting.
I love that idea! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@ocdandanxiety thanks!
Great idea to do this!
I'd like to watch another one of these. I'm curious is PTSD and real event OCD similar?
How do you differentiate between ocd urges and just tics, I have these horrible urges to (shout, punch my tv,mirror etc, touch people inappropriately, choke on food) I’m hoping these are ocd
When I have a thought or fear that something bad will happen in the future even without evidence I constant research online and look for reassurance that the bad thing will happen. Internet anxiety gets so bad that I sometimes take off work for a few days and just lay in bed trying to sleep because every time I’m awake I can’t stop but focus on it and what horrible things will happen
Hi x I’ve not been diagnosed with OCD but I have intrusive thoughts that I think could be OCD .... is it possible to have an OCD ‘attack’
As in where all my obsessions happen at once kind of like a really long panic attack ? Sometimes this happens and I feel really overwhelmed and chaotic .How would you deal with this ?
Hi Nathan, I am sorry I missed your live. I am a therapist who provides treatment for many people with OCD. And I am wondering if you have done a video on perfectionism related to the need to be perfectly understood? For example, people who feel compelled to be overly inclusive in their storytelling; people who get bogged down in minutae because they can't tolerate the possibility that they aren't explaining themselves perfectly clearly?
Hey! I’ve done one on perfectionism. I don’t think I mentioned the need to be perfectly understood l! That would be a great video though. 👍🏻
@@ocdandanxiety I agree it would! Well, I'd appreciate it anyway. That urge to ask/tell/confess/be overly inclusive is one I see quite often. :)
I’m so obsessed with my eye , it’s blurry and I think I hurt myself in the eye but just the thought seems real
None of these therapists help me. All they do is talk talk talk and act like it’s easily fixable. This is why I will never pay to see a therapist because every time I’ve done that I just wind up losing out on hard earned money. The problem will never go away. It may lessen over time, but that’s it.
Hi Nathan, I hope you can reply. Do you have any knowledge of OCD that stems from the fear of being abused as a child coming from a true memory that the mind turned into a horrible false memory. I know I was never abused but my OCD is obsessive and keeps clinging into it and I’m suffering badly.
May god bless you
What is the role of trauma in OCD treatment?
its working :)
Great!
it's very lame but i should spell it out.
I gave a competitive exam from my undergrad course. I passed the exam attended admission process and got admission. The official result of the exam used to come by post, but i never got that due to some address issue.My college gave me admission with a undertaking to submit it later, but they never i asked again and i never bothered. I passed my undergrad in 2016 got degree and working now in a mnc, but suddenly i have fear that my college will ask about that document and i won't be able to produce it. I will loose everything my degree, my job
is this ocd?
Yes
I am pregnant 33 weeks,suddenly 1 month ago some negative thoughts about me,upcoming baby coming in my head, whice give me afraid,psychiatrist told me one kind ocd,i Don't know how to get rid of this?????
Hello you have to disregard them as you would disregard other negative thoughts, refocus your attention on what matters to you and don’t do reassurance. Salam
How do you know it is actual OCD and not real?
You're so nice
I m sufring from harm or religius ocd i want to get out of it amd pls tell me in harm ocd anybody harm some one pls help me i want to love a normal life 😭😭😭 pls help
Why isn't Emetophobia classified as OCD?
What are a few ways I can build confident in my 11 year old.
I've found good programs like "kid strong" really can help. People try different treatments. Using cognitive restructuring is a good method.
@@ocdandanxiety I see could there be multiple personality mixed in ?
I hate myself for missing it
Don't hate.. Watch the last minute of the video. Show self-compassion. You can re-watch it and I'll do it again!
Ugh I came an hour late! Time zone mixup. I’ll be watching this! Thanks for all you do.
@@lauraworrel6470 Great to see you here!
Hey Nathan, I do think that some coaches like Mark Freeman and Ali Greymond have walked through the fire and they believe that the same can potentially happen to others who are suffering in as well. You can go check them out! Hence they have dedicated themselves to helping others overcome their OCD. Not targeting any therapist, but I feel that a lot of them tend to discount these well meaning individuals just because they don’t go to school to study psychotherapy. A lot of the times lived experiences can be more valuable than theoretical or even clinical practice. I had a therapist who specialises in ocd but turned out her know-it-all attitude just frustrated me and I eventually left. So that’s just my two cents. And yes, I believe ocd can be more than managed. I have heard success stories. Therapists telling sufferers that ocd is chronic is simply inconsiderate and are really doing them a disservice. Hope you get to see this, Nathan!
Hey Shawn! Thanks for the thoughts! I totally see where you're coming from. My main issue with SOME coaches is that they will SELL you their services by using terms like, "fully recover" "cure" "never experience OCD again". Some sell packages and upsell you based on your OCD severity. That's super unethical. That being said, there are coaches that I like and are well intentioned. Additionally, not all OCD therapists are the same either, each have their own styles. OCD is not curable, but is managed very well. It doesn't mean they will have the same level of symptoms every second of their life. I've seen many who go years without symptoms, but it doesn't mean they are cured. A lot need to accept this fact, because they will spend years and years looking and ruminating about finding "the answer" of how to get their OCD to go away for good, thus keeping them trapped in the OCD cycle. I hope this finds you well.
@@ocdandanxiety hi Nathan, thanks for your reply! Well, I think I know who you are referring to, but I guess we will have to just agree to disagree on this hotly debated topic. The words that we use also affect how we actually define recovery too! Anyway, We can’t really guess the intentions of these people anyway, so it is also not so appropriate to assume they are out to get our money (though I do agree that they are very costly, but so do private clinicians). For now, I’m keeping the faith that there are genuine individuals who are keen to help, and I thank God for them.
On another note, I also think that perhaps it is not healthy for sufferers to obsess over their prognosis, since this will likely greatly jeopardise their recovery. I also unapologetically think that sufferers should not accept that ocd is chronic - since everyone’s recovery trajectory is different and forcing them to accept will simply demoralise them to commit to treatment in the first place. It is also unethical for a clinician to “force” their clients to accept that ocd or any mental health condition is chronic, since they are also not fortune tellers that can predict a person’s future. I for one tend to turn recovery and the definition of recovery into a secondary obsession... I’m sure you will agree on this point! Anyway, i do believe in healing (I am a Christian) but I won’t try to enforce the definition of recovery on anyone else. But thanks for all you have done Nathan! Just offering some perspective as a sufferer haha!
@@shawnleong3605 Much love my friend! I believe in healing and wish the best for any seeking some relief. Each person will experience treatment differently and what works for them works for them. I appreciate your support and love to hear your thoughts and perspective. Much respected! 😃
@@ocdandanxiety hello Nathan i want to say that I do agree with Shawn but really love your content! We just don’t agree on the definition of recovery but it doesn’t mean we should be toxic about discussing it which you aren’t and I want to thank you for this because that’s not the case with other therapists. I just want to say that the brain IS incredible and is evolving and I believe that nothing is set in stone🤗 thank you!!😄
Hello Shawn thank you for your testimony . I completely agree with you! I am Muslim and God tells us that there is no disease that doesn’t have its cure and that’s my motto for OCD. Also you should call yourself an OCD fighter instead of sufferer! Fighting! ✊🏻
I thank you for talking about mark and Ali as I listen to them a lot and both of them have changed my life!! Did you hear about Jeffrey Schwartz as well? He talks a lot about neuroplasticity and ocd. If the brain can recover after a stroke, then what about ocd?! Moreover, I also know someone who is currently folllowing a program to heal his epilepsy and it also comes down to the concept of neuroplasticity . The brain Is definitely incredible and I chose to believe we can completely CURE ocd. I do ERP and it is hard work and that’s something we must do until we don’t need to do it anymore OR, said in other words; until it becomes the new you, the new programming, a second nature! But hey, you know Ali and mark so you know all about it!! The impact of our words on defining ocd recovery really impacts our brain and mind. so yes , I definitely , 100% agree with you. I will leave you with these recommandations too: I’ve listened to Kathie dath, dr Reid Wilson, restored minds (UA-cam channel) and I’ve recently found a great Instagram account t called ohheykellyrenee. Also, just today , I saw this book by Emma wise on how she cured her Ocd (going against what it is said about the idea of no cure). I will purchase it soon. I love Nathan content but I do disagree on the point of ocd recovery, yet, i agree with most of what he says! He is great 👍🏻
Finally,
I did have a bad experience yesterday with an ocd advocate on UA-cam because i dared to spread the « misinformation » that ocd is not curable so I am really happy to have found your comment! Peace
Is this live
It was live last night!
Maybe, we OCD people can save the world by being OCD.
