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

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!

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.

"Epiphany" .. Genius is the ability to take something complicated and boil it down to simplest, understandable, relatable "Workable" term ..

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.

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.

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" ..

@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 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.

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

anyone tried his course? The 6 moment game? how did you find it?

"Let's get the End Game up Front" ..

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.

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”…

@OCDWhisperer

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.. 😅

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.

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
