Getting seroius about therapy

[drummingman]

I want to get serious about doing therapy that will help me beat my ocd. I am planing to see a new therapist on june 3rd and i want to be able to do the things that she tells me to do that are not sinnful to do to get better.

I also am working on doing self directed therpay that i help me. I reamember reading the line "do the opposite" in a book where the person was saying do the oppiste of what the ocd tells me to do. With the Lords help he has been helping me with me telling myself to "do the opposite".

Do you all have any advice on the best ways to get the most out of therapy? And do you all have any advice on the best way to do self directed therapy?

Doing the opposite is a great idea! Saying "oh well" is good too. And what a great thread starter this morning!

Concerning what the therapist will have you do - some of it may seem sinful because of your ocd (it sure felt that way to me), but keep in mind that God understands ocd and what you need to do to get healed and recovered. What may seem sinful to our ocd minds, may not at all be so.

I'm so proud of you, and certain that you will see improvement. You really want to try hard, and that's the first step. When we realize what we've been doing doesn't work, we just hear our Lord's voice and "Be still and know that I am God". We need to be still in our ocd and hear God's voice in our recovery.

I am so happy for you this morning. May God bless all your efforts.

Well the best advice is to find what works for you in cooperation with youre therapist ..my therapist has talked to me about doing some self help techniques so i would explore that
