Exposure and response prevention works for OCD and Anxiety. I use a fun way to explain why exposures work and what happens in your brain. Kinda! 🤪 Pretend your brain is a grassy field!

Have you tried using exposure and response prevention? 🤷♂️What were your results?👍🏻
I've just started ERP for my checking OCD - I haven't jumped in completely, I've started with small, more manageable things and, while that might not be the best way to go about it, having success with these small things definitely makes me feel stronger. For example, I will still check major things (or at least, major to me) such as doors being locked, but I can resist the urge to check that I've turned the light off in the garage. I've sat with the anxiety and actually felt it spike and then diminish which, I have to say, is an AWESOME feeling!
I love it! Thanks for sharing your experience! Small gradual exposures are great!! Most people start that way. It definitely makes the individual stronger!😊
@@ocdandanxiety i have done ERP which worked at the beginning. But now it feals its effectiveness has taken off. Any tips?
It worked for my son when he was in grade school! He managed very well until now at age 26, covid, fear, changes, isolation triggered it. It’s severely impacting his life again. (Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, can’t work, completely controlled by OCD) can’t find a councillor to help him!!!!! There’s a shortage of of specialists in our area, so they have sent him to councillors that are not trained at all in exposure therapy. He’s living in hell and no one cares enough to even return my calls. At a loss! 😓
@@kano5 did you get a reply on any tips??
This is soo true. I like the grass theory ! We are stronger than OCD even tho it tells us that we are not strong and we have to think about it. We do not have to think about it or do any of the rituals. We have uncertainties and confusion like he was saying but we must ovoid it because it is just OCD. This guy is soo good and therapicual at explaining stuff. Please keep posting good content up. Congrats on your dedication and consistent on these videos 🙏🙌
Thank you for the kind comments Jack! I believe in what I do and want to help as many people as possible. I'll continue to make videos! 👍
@@ocdandanxiety thank you!!
I have a great deal of gratitude for the work you're doing here. It's incredibly helpful.
Great video, very good metaphore with the grass paths! Thank you!
This is so helpful! It's easy to feel guilt still when I try to do this, so I think it's very important to understand how it works!
this is basically changing your habits by fixing your mindset!
Your videos are fantastic I'm so grateful I discovered you thankyou
UK mental health nurse! I use exact same analogy for neuroplasticity and forging new pathways in the brain 🙂
Oh that’s awesome!!
OCD and Anxiety 🙂 thank you
ERP is indeed an application of neuroplasticity. We are forming new neural pathways!!😁💗. I have OCD and find the topic so fascinating. ERP along with meds and neurofeedback has dramatically improved my life.
Mate you are literally doing more for people than these 'celebrities' can't thankyou enough we don't have many ocd specialist in my town but I'm switched on enough to understand it, when I'm not having strong fear emotions but thankyou
Great video. Very clear and helpful.
Thank you resisting a compulsion and listening to your video to help me and disregard the thoughts in head
Wonderful, thank you!
Thank you so much. You are a blessing. :))
Fantastic analogy!
Thanks Jane! 😄
Excellent advice
Thank you Nathan! u r amazing♥️
Excellent explanation 🙏♥️
Thank you 🙂
Nathan you are a wonderful person.
Thank you for the kind words!
Nyzzzzz...Ys true...nd d truth wil set u free
Thank you!
Great video. Very clear and helpful.. 2:59 - 3:15 I can't even explain how relatable this is..
thanks, good video
Thank you 🙏🏻
Very very very nice explained bro
I hope one day I can try therapy again. I went for six months and I procrastinated all the homework and just misunderstood the exposures. I feel like I’m not ready to give up my ocd.
Hi Nathan, just curious if your doing podcasts? Your videos are helping me so much, thank you!
This video is very useful how to deal with health issues/ anxiety when it’s a thought of something happening that can impact in future?
Three years ago I did LSD and during the trip I decided I no longer had OCD and began touching things no human should ever touch, just to prove a point. Next morning when I regained my grasp on the reality and I realized what I had done, it threw me into a year long severe OCD cycle. You are correct, it has to be done under a trained specialist supervision, exposure that is done because you're so mad at OCD and you begin touching and licking toilet seats is a super unhealthy practice.
Just live. Don’t try to fight with it proving a point. It’s not worth it. Don’t give it any worth. Praying for you❤️
Thanks very much for all your very informative and helpful videos - I truly love them, please keep posting them.
Just wondering, are you an OCD sufferer yourself?
I do not suffer from OCD myself but have worked with it for so long that I know it extremely well.
Hi Nathan! I'm trying to get rid of OCD in 2 years already (if not more), i watched a lot of videos and i know how OCD works and that with every compulsion it becomes more bad. One time i manage to do ERP and not giving reaction pretty well, but then other days my will power goes to zero and i can't do anything against OCD but only compulsions compulsions and compulsions, even if i understand that i do steps back. I feel how something huge blocks me from preventing responce. I'm getting able to stop reacting only when i really will get tired of doing a lot of compulsions in a cycle, then again i start to get some better days and then soon again like no any success was, zero of will power and days are going bad. I feel like this cycle of ups and downs is going for more than one year. I remember there was some period of time when i felt better and my OCD situation overall was better, i felt myself more free and i felt strong against my fears. I'm not sure when exactly it went down again, but now i feel that it's super bad again, i can't work properly, all these silly thoughts in my head distract me and they push me to keep doing rituals. The problem is that my brain makes these silly thoughts so strong and scary, it gives me phrases or scenes / ideas and then makes me feel like i asked god to make them real, while i didn't, i'm not really religious person and i understand that they are just silly thoughts, but they still bring me SUPER STRONG fear of that all that can happen because my brain mentions god in my phrases with other very bad kind of content. I'm trying to do ERP but simply can't prevent reaction because everything in my head yells that this stuff will happen if i will not re-do my previous action with trying to not have these thoughts. Please, any kind of advice would be really appreciated.
any tips for being consistent on the blue path?
Your videos are helping me. Have you heard of tooth grinding or clenching during sleep as a compulsion, please? Or tension in the jaw as a compulsion? I would value your thoughts. Thanks!
what if a person has ocd after exposure? oh if my hands are dirty or something sticky is on it, oh is it sperm? etc
if i dont wash my hands, and hand shake with my big brother, will he get sick?
sometimes i ask my brother that my hands were dirty go wash your hands
ocd after exposure gets worse and creates another ocd
I do seek uncertainty for compulsions and obsessions and i think its easier to let down on your bed and juste gaving therapy Time so you Can heal
What would be the compulsion when you have sensorimotor breathing ocd? Shall l just let be the thought and purposely focus on my breathing but for how long? I 3months already and anxiety is very high. I try to tell my self that l want to focus on my breathing and l like it but after difficult night, l wake up in huge stress again. I'm working and at times l do not think about the breath but when it comes is almost as its telling me to breathe manually. I will have a therapy soon but if you just can advise what is the compulsion here..what am l doing wrong?
how about when my ocd makes bets or i can't stop making bets inside my head how to coupe with this will i lose the bet and feel uncomfortable?
Hey! Is there any chance you could make a video on healthy self care and lower anxeity techniques that doesn't reassure or feed into OCD?
Yes. That would be great!
Thank you very much for video, very nice example with grass. How to make Erp for Rocd?
I have a video that explains this. It's called, "How to treat ROCD (Relationship OCD)"
OCD and Anxiety yes, I saw it after askining, thank you!
What do you do about the terror that comes with not giving into compulsions? I know you’re supposed to start with small exposures, but all my exposures are in the home and i keep walking into them, big or small. Also, no therapy is available to me.
How long we gonna do ERP?is it any timelimit?1month 2 3

What about for magical thinking ocd?
Good
Trying to figure out how to do exposures for my theme. It's on my headaches and tooth ache I freak out.
2:59 - 3:15 I can't even explain how relatable this is.
I'm glad it was helpful!😃
I'm 25 now and have been hiding from my anxiety for so long fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkk
It can be without anxiety i have erges not cause I am afraid but for that not to happen
I’m trying to go clean up my storage space. If you won’t get out of the car (months and months of same avoidance behavior along with hundreds and hundreds of dollars wasted) then how can you make a new path if you compulsively avoid even starting. Like a deer in headlights just frozen in place. Sit there for hours and hours and then drive off. You say it so easily like it’s easy to get out of the car or it’s simple to stop the avoiding. There is no danger narrative. Maybe this is a different issue but it feels like o c d to me. It’s been 4 years of this since my house burned down.
I'm sorry for what you've been going through. Most people work with a trained therapist and go through gradual exposures. Meaning, staying in the car would be the first step but doing something slightly different than your normal routine. Then moving up to tougher and tougher exposures.
Thank you. I have been going to her office but haven’t had in person help at my storage sp. I’ll ask about it.
Will this help
In hocd
Yes! Exposure and response prevention has shown to work for HOCD.
I need help on OCD
Wait so we have to practice ERP for the rest of our lives??
erp for false memory ocd?
I need to create a video for this. For now I have. czcams.com/video/zioi_7c3XeY/video.html
@@ocdandanxiety it's a very good video! whenever you're able to make more like that ill be sure to watch it 👍🏻
Why does our brain do this? Is it simply some kind of faulty 'wiring'?
When I say 'do this' I mean why does it create OCD, of course :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
But what if u feel certain 😂?
But the level of anexiety and stress that you feel after ERP is so hard and devastating. You have to fight with your brain. Its not simply teaching it. 😢
What if it’s health anxiety?
