In this instance you could insert a delay between the urge and the response by making a plan. Something simple. For example, you could write out a list of reasons you wish to lose weight. These might include: better health; fit into some clothing that is a bit too snug right now; look slimmer for upcoming event; be better able to compete in an upcoming 5K race, and so forth. This compulsive behavior generally provides little relief, and what it does provide is short lived. Other common reactions include repeatedly praying, silently counting, repeating a specific phrase or word, and seeking reassurance from a trusted confidant.

When it is stimulated it dials things down. Including anxious feelings. True story. Why do you think so many Eastern meditation practices including repeating a mantra in a near humming like incantation? It is because the vibrations set up through humming stimulate the vagus nerve which in turn dials down anxiety and leads to greater calm. Medication should not be relied upon with the idea that it will ‘cure’ OCD. It won’t. It provides a different benefit. Just like anyone can call themselves a therapist, anyone can start a support group, so we take great care to only list a support group once we have spoken to the facilitator and assured ourselves of the groups suitability. But at a gut level, it feels as though they are pressing in from all sides. A sense of dread and urgency mix together forming a final certitude that unless perfection is acquired, horrible consequences will follow.Such intrusive thoughts are not limited to themes of violence but also include sex, impulsive behaviors that break societal norms, and activities that go against the person’s deepest held beliefs regarding right and wrong. In fact, that fear has been strengthened by his having performed the compulsive behavior. His brain has now been through one more training cycle that links relief from a fear of his wife dying, to the performance of a specific compulsion. The neuronal connections associated with these feelings, thoughts and behaviors have now grown stronger. Most of us would respond to this type of odd thought by shrugging it off, and continuing with our day. But this young man struggled with OCD. Consequently he continued to dwell on the thought. After a short time he became extremely anxious that his having had this thought meant that unconsciously he was motivated to hurt his parents.

Hierarchy– Create your OCD hierarchy, a list of anxiety provoking situations, most anxiety provoking at the top, least at the bottom This is an excellent self-help book for young people who are suffering from OCD and their families and/or carers but it is also an invaluable resource for clinicians, teachers and other professionals who may be working with children with these difficulties. There are several excellent self-help books for OCD currently available but, as a mental health professional working in this area, I consider this to be one of the best I have come across. Taking control, however, making the delay intentional, feels good. You’re surprised to learn that even such a small step as waiting to wash your hands for a minute gives you a sense of control. The book has given me a clearer, better and deeper understanding of how OCD works and more importantly how to challenge it. It's well written, not preachy and even just reading out of interest might provide help to people who didn't know they needed it.Going to sleep at night can be delayed indefinitely when your nightly prayers need to be said with a pure heart…. And you always find some way in which your heart remains impure. OK, that was a lot to take in. If you got lost along the way that’s understandable. Take a few minutes to re-read that material starting with the Pattern Of Anxiety section.
