I agree. It’s not about the content of each symptom. It’s about the underlying anxiety about “am I good enough”, “will I get stuck on this thought forever”, “will this ruin my life”? It’s the underlying core fears that bring out the symptoms.
Dealing from the therapeutic voice instead of the ocd voice makes a lot of sense. Then building a therapeutic voice and the space built in between the ocd voice is where we find our power and the way to create techniques and methods to recovery.
Reid saved my life too. Content is irrelevant Accept the obsession when it pops up. I want to be uncertain and i want to be distressed and i want to not know. Key to getting better. I want what i dont want
I was recently diagnosed with ocd and trying to learn all I can. The one thing I don’t understand is whether distractions can be effective or they will just become compulsions.
Question: how many times, on average, would you have to go through moments 4 to 6, to reach the point that the obsession and compulsion do not come back? I mean, are we taking in 10s, 100s or thousands?
I think it’s different for everybody. I’ve seen people immediately get better , like flipping a switch. It took me a while but I’m stubborn. You’ll heal when the time comes but keep practicing every chance you get. One day you’ll laugh at the stupid things that scared you. ✌🏼
I am getting superstitious obsessions that someone did black magic on me and I am just hallucinating everything and even this video 😂😂 but yeah trying my best to not pay attention to this
I had Superstitious obsessions around numbers and it was tough. I would stay home at certain dates of month. The way i beat it is like dr wilson said i went towards it. I went out on thise inlucky / cursed dates / numbers. And i wore unlucky shirts and over time ocd got less and less strong
@@Zgembo121 I had the same with me all of my life since I was 14 years old and I am now 58 years old. I had to count and do a certain number of times "rituals" to get rid of superstistious obsessions. Over the years I have gotten better but I still have these at times such as when fixing my car and if a screw or bolt does not feel right or match something else, I have to open it and then tighten it 2 or 3 times to get it right or something might go wrong with my car. I like Dr. Wilson's suggestions to keep going to these and not pay attention to them. This makes total sense and is a game changer.
Thank you so much for sharing these very helpful informations. I think there are not many books that can compete with only this video. From Hamburg, Germany
@kristina I have seen your many podcasts and you tried bringing in some different approach experts here and all are CORRECT in their own way and all are INCORRECT in others way aswell. I am pretty much interested to see DIFFERRENT Theraphy EXPERTS sit and do discussion and try this clarify the DIFFERENCES in the theraphy. I LOVE to see INTEGRATED theraphy
I wound up here, today, having recently started ACT Therapy, having (recent) read "the Happiness Trap" having just read Victor Frankl, "Mans Search for Meaning" exploring Logos Therapy & "Paradoxical Intention" ..
Yes, I do agree you have to go toward the anxiety, but not so into it that you get enmeshed with it either. It has to be a passive way to move into the fear.
OCD is not always in response to trauma. There are people who don’t have a trauma history and have severe OCD and those where their OCD activated after trauma. There several drivers to OCD.
@@OCDWhispererisn't trauma anything that changes the behaviour your brain? So, by definition, any OCD is a trauma response. While there are "major" traumas that are recognised by the general public, anything can be a trauma, I think.
This man saved my life. "Its not about the content" that's the most important thing every OCD sufferer have to understand to beat the disorder
Indeed
I agree. It’s not about the content of each symptom. It’s about the underlying anxiety about “am I good enough”, “will I get stuck on this thought forever”, “will this ruin my life”? It’s the underlying core fears that bring out the symptoms.
This is the only approach that has helped me. He is great!
4:10 ( to 8min20sec )...the six moments.

Dr Wilson is the GOAT of anxiety/OCD! I was fortunate enough to of had him as my therapist. I got my life back because of him.
Sooo glad to hear that!
@@OCDWhisperer Ty!

"Epiphany" .. Genius is the ability to take something complicated and boil it down to simplest, understandable, relatable "Workable" term ..
OCD has a biological cause that also needs to be dealt with
I got more out of this than I have reading (re reading and Hilighting) "another book" Thank You so much ..
I was recently diagnosed with ocd and trying to learn all I can. The one thing I don’t understand is whether distractions can be effective or they will just become compulsions.
Distractions can be both.
Love this man! So happy that you had him on your wonderful show!
Yes! And thank you!
I looked back and just realized I have his and Edna B Foa Book "Stop Obsessing" ..
Question: how many times, on average, would you have to go through moments 4 to 6, to reach the point that the obsession and compulsion do not come back? I mean, are we taking in 10s, 100s or thousands?
Good question. I don’t have an answer. However I do know that practice is definitely needed for anything in life.

Im thinking OCD God. The views alone testify to this. I got more out of this one video that hours and hours of other videos.
So glad it’s helpful.

Yes! I love Reid Wilson.
Isn’t he great 😊

"Brilliant" .. Keeping it real "simple" ..

"Let's get the End Game up Front" ..
It goes into the direction of Greenberg’s approach, no?
But with Greenberg it’s easy to not ruminate and then think about the “core fear”…
They would both say it’s different. Greenberg has a protocol for rumination focused erp and Wilson goes a more metacognitive route
@@OCDWhisperer Thanks for pointing it out. It feels similar, though.. 😅
OCD is a trauma response... Work on healing...🙏😔
