In this episode, I want to talk about the power of acceptance and its role in OCD & Anxiety recovery. The reason we have difficulty with acceptance is that we are often clinging to something. Oftentimes we are clinging to an idea of a past or future that we would prefer.
So the first step of acceptance is letting go of our attachment to the alternative. Only then, can we begin to move towards and accept reality as it is. This enables us to have a much more harmonious relationship with life as we lay down the struggle of fighting and resisting the challenging moments in life.

This is 100% true. I still struggle with OCD and intrusive thoughts but acceptance and sitting with my emotions has been the #1 most effective tool for me. It’s not easy but it works

@amine Can’t see it right now! Explain how you sit with the discomfort?
I get frustrated with the totality of my suffering. I must try to transcend this. I pray with the grain of faith I have that God will help me

You can do this! If you have OCD, look into ERP therapy, it’s the gold standard for treatment.
I accept my anxiety and stop fighting it 😸
This has definitely taken me years to learn. Wish I had this video back then 👍

@Harpstring God show me that too
Wow. This is my brain and the whole reason I struggle with disabling OCD, anorexia, and debilitating anxiety that has caused me to lose my job, my friends, my fitness, and made it nearly impossible to leave my home.

Great video. Acceptance is key as opposed to fighting what enters our minds. Taking a neutral stance is the way to go.

You are so welcome!
Great video Matt, thank you so much for doing these videos
Your videos are absolutely incredible
Great guy and very compassionate
Thank you so much for this useful advice! Knowing that what is consuming our thoughts today will be different or viewed differently later, if thought of at all, really helps a lot!
Thank you for this. I really needed to hear this today ❤
Finally a good explanation thank you sir
Consuming thoughts and absorbing anxiety is the only real effective method that works for me. Ignoring thoughts works for a time, but this way I can completely purge my body from anxiety. Amazing, almost tantric experience.

Thanks this great
Matt, do you do individual counseling? I have done many many videos on youtube and seen many therapists in person as well as been inpatient. You are the first person I feel that truly gets my symptoms. Please let me know if you do individualized counseling via zoom, etc. Thank you!
I can't accept anything if is not according to my own beliefs , that's why i get depressed and OCD
Awesome
No part of your journey is permanent
This is almost like a buddhist philosophy, the art of letting go
It is difficult to accept that you have been given a medicine that kills you. Ambien is deadly and I don't know how to cope with this! It gives me anxiety and panicked fatigue etc. Wish I could accept, it sounds so nice to just let go...

@anna I have trouble seeing it too right now
How do you accept it when ocd has beaten you up so much that you feel so depressed and hopeless?
