I like your channel a lot, and your I-CBT content has been an eye opener. I also like your calm appeal to common sense. Very helpful!
TRIGGER WARNING (I guess, even though miy point is that the scenario in the video is not all that dangerous)
I agree with your main point in the video, but I still have to point out: In the scenario you describe, I don't think all normal people would act as you describe. I guess all neurotics would, of course. I definitely would. But the people who are not neurotic and who also know that HIV doesn't transfer at through unbroken skin, and even if you had a small papercut on your hand and touch a doorknob that might have a traces of dried blood on it, the chance of getting an infection is about zero - so non-neurotics who know this, might not worry enough to take any precautions if they don't see any blood And they would not risk much.
Actually, even if the doorknob was dripping wet with fresh, infected blood, the risk of getting infected would still be close to zero, but I guess most people would find that disgusting to touch anyway.
Great channel, Mike!
Thank you!
Wonderful!

Obsessional doubt can be a never-ending cycle. You can start to doubt everything; your goodness, your mental ability, even your progress in treatment. ICBT helps you to see that trusting your senses, and what is actually happening in the real world outside of yourself, is the only option in life. Otherwise you end up in the never-ending doubt cycle.

Magical thinking is not so different from any other form of OCD. It involves doubts and what if's that lack sensory evidence to support them. The key is to begin to differentiate between direct evidence that is collected by the senses vs. possibilities generated in the imagination. Possibilities are irrelevant if they don't have sensory evidence.
@@OCDspace412 thank you so much reply i am trying to not do ritual
Now what if it’s religious in nature and even though you don’t believe it other’s do? That seems to be a hard nut to crack, it’s been my ocd for 20 years…
That sounds tough. I'm not sure if this helps, but there is sometimes a bigger issue aside from the specific content of the obsession. With OCD, there is often a core doubt one has in oneself, one's senses, and what one knows to be true. OCD convinces you that whatever you may be sensing right now, it doesn't matter. It convinces you to disregard the reality of the present moment, and instead focus on a possibility. One goal of ICBT is finding the specific logic that keeps one disregarding what one knows to be true in the present moment. You may want to check out my video on "It's Possible" if that sounds relevant: czcams.com/video/fPghyLc6Vl4/video.html. Hope that helps.
