subject: Pure Ocd - How To Handle Pure Ocd [print this page] Pure OCD is something that all OCD sufferers deal with to some degree. As a matter of fact, I would be as audacious to say that everyone, whether they have OCD or not deals with a certain degree of Pure OCD. This results from people naturally having OCD thoughts regardless of whether or not they have OCD. The difference between people with OCD and people without it is how they respond to their thoughts.
Think about this: Pure OCD is a set of habits in the mind that causes a chemical addiction in your brain. The reason why programs that help people get over and beat addictions are so powerful against OCD is because they address the core of OCD. In fact, OCD is an addiction and all addictions are chemical addictions.
So what can we do to beat and destroy the Pure OCD monster? It packs a punch that debilitates its sufferers over time. I can't begin to tell you how many people have a misconception about Pure OCD, much like the people who believe UFO's are actually aliens or came from aliens. Or like those who believe that "the gods" are angry unless they sacrifice an animal.
However, once the truth is revealed, this is when actual answers and cures can be attained. Now you know that Pure OCD is an addiction, ask yourself this one question: "How do you stop an addiction?" The answer is very simple: Stop allowing the addiction to win! Now as with all drugs, you will likely need help in making this effort because your body adjusts to the drug.
When you feel like you have to give in to a Pure OCD ritual, it's like a junkie who is yearning for a fix. Once you perform the ritual, you cause your brain to release chemicals that put you in a peaceful state of mind. So, in other words, when you give in to a ritual, it's just like when the junkie sticks the needle in his/her arm and gets their fix. It can work temporarily but they'll soon need another fix and you will too. In your case, however, it will result in you giving into another ritual.
Pure OCD can range from mild to debilitating, however, this is an answer to this problem and that answer isn't medication, EFT, CBT, or any other pneumonic. It's also not relaxation techniques either. These things are helpful as helpers but as stand alone cures you can simply forget about it baby. Let's think logically here, let's get to the core of this addiction and take the actions that are necessary to cure it, are you ready?
