@enoughofthis4 @do4luv_ Pressure does help sometimes for me too but when it’s natural and unavoidable. It often takes its toll afterwards though so idk if it really helps but maybe 🤷‍♀️ #OCDTalkHour

Quick random question before we wrap up for tonight: If you could teleport anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you do? #OCDTalkHour

@do4luv_ @Sam198247235291 Sorry you don’t have therapy - it can help a lot. A chilled evening sounds nice. I’ve been busy as had pokemon before this

@enoughofthis4 @do4luv_ This sounds like a good idea and I’d be interested in how you get on. I find self-guided exposures more helpful than ERP itself. I ask myself if I feel able to test out changing something without pressure but can see your way might be helpful! #OCDTalkHour

@do4luv_ @Sam198247235291 Sorry you’re struggling 💕 Can relate to hating wasting things due to OCD issues! Do you have support for your OCD irl? What are you up to this evening/today (idk what time it is where you are)?

@enoughofthis4 @do4luv_ I might be a bit weird in this sense as I feel like there’s a difference between my actual instincts and OCD ones. I can usually tell when it’s my actual instincts but possible OCD ones are often hazy! #OCDTalkHour

Has anyone had any success learning to trust their gut/instincts more? What helped? Did it have an impact on your OCD? Feel free to answer below or on @do4luv_’s original post #OCDTalkHour

the beautiful struggle. @do4luv_

@harmlesslife I wondered if anyone has had any success (big or small) with learning to trust their gut more and what it was that helped them do that

@harmlesslife Wondering what success anyone has had with do-it-yourself ERP. Also any particularly helpful guides websites or other resources for doing it yourself? #OCDTalkHour

@do4luv_ @enoughofthis4 I don’t talk about it much publicly as lots of people find ERP helpful. Hard to summarise but I think hierarchical ERP alone is ineffective long-term. It’s sort of compulsive in itself and quite cruel. Exposures are important but I don’t like ERP in its usual format #OCDTalkHour
