Recovery

Allow your thoughts and feelings to rise and fall like trees in the wind without trying to neutralize them by checking for reassurance. Practice Mindfulness, practice recovery. You have to stop checking for reassurance; it's perfectly okay to have unwanted thoughts and feelings. You do not have to fixate, analyze, chase or be afraid of them. Allow them to come and go without Judgement. Mindfulness, when done properly is ERP, it's practising recovery. Thoughts are just biochemical-electric events, signals within the brain. There is no good, bad or scary thoughts so have the self assurance to disregard reassurance seeking entirely and learn to live your life free from OCD.
