This is not a simple video. This is a lesson for life. Thank you so much, Kirsty!!
Very helpful thank you. 😊
You are just absolutely brilliant. I am foreign person diagnosed with ocd. And I really like your explanation of the things that help recovery!!
Absolutely terrific video, as always! Throughout my recovery I’ve caught myself many times directly responding in the moment. This tactic doesn’t work. You nailed it when you said separating the disputing work from the direct response moment to moment!
Thanks Kirsty 🙏

I came to this video because I recently realised I was thinking “maybe, maybe not” about every intrusive thought so the anxiety and rumination would decrease… sneaky compulsion!

@@jelenatisma4215 For overthinking problem be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, reduce watching negative social media and fake news and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down--eyes closed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. Never meditate with expectations. Make it a lifetime habit to observe your breath day and night before sleep, at work, when travelling, when busy in the kitchen, walking in the park etc with eyes open or closed.
