Understanding and Letting Go of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) | Why Your System Holds On to...
What really happens with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?
In this video, I'll take you through a story I read in the newspaper about someone who has suffered from compulsive behavior since childhood: checking doors, touching picture frames, avoiding the number three, and much more.
I'll show you how compulsion often doesn't just arise, but is linked to a powerful trigger or trauma from the past. In this case, a near-death experience during surgery at a young age, where the brain stored "3 = life-threatening."
Instead of pushing through fear (as in traditional exposure therapy), I'll show you how to break the trigger in a gentler and more loving way. This way, your system learns that it's safe now—without having to go through the fear of death.
This is what you'll learn in the video:
How an OCD can become stuck in your brain and body
Why exposure often feels difficult and painful
How you can find lasting peace with awareness and letting go techniques
Examples from my practice of people who let go of their OCD
Do you yourself suffer from OCD, anxiety, or limiting beliefs?
Feel free to send me a message. I'd love to help you discover which hooks are still holding your system in place and how to let go of them.
