This very true. You are not your thoughts, and we shouldn’t act from them. At least for me with OCD, I won’t

8:00 I wish I was told this much more earlier in my life.

This is hard to think this way “you are not your thoughts” but still possible .. dealing with HOCD When the thoughts are far from who you are and are 100% disturbing bring so much discomfort. It’s hard ..

The best way i could put it for myself personally is this: Stop identifying with them. They don't come from deep within , or in some kind of hidden but terrible aspect of your inner self, they are completely random synapses in your brain. In fact, the basis of what horror is what the human mind cannot comprehend. So your response of fear is your brain actively rejecting the notion while also trying to "understand" or fathom it. But there's no work to be done, there's no problem to be solved. Thoughts are just a little thing going off inside the wonderfully sophisticated bio-electric organ we call the human brain. As the video said, and i think the uploader put it best- The Human Mind is an incredible tool, but a terrible friend.

Is watching this video a safety behavior?

[@blktegs]

Do you do online therapy sessions? Or know someone that specializes with ocd thoughts and negative sometimes harm ocd thoughts. No one in my area does this
