4 steps - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Message Board

HI! Has anyone done or (doing) the Four Steps from "Brain Lock". Wow, it really sounds hopefull! I really think Behavior therapy is the only way to truly end this disease. Well I have been doing them (4 steps) for about a week and I feel really crazy with my obsessional thoughts (pure O). I basically have not been ruminating on them. I know the obsessions get worse at first and then fade, but does anyone know when they start to fade. I am not practicing the 15 minute rule, so I guess you can say I am quitting the compulsions cold turkey. One thing that is hard is that my obsessions/compulsions are about reality, my identity, senses, etc so I basically have quit reassuring myself about it! I just feel so crazy, when will it end.

I dunno, but I'm going to look up that Brain Lock thing and see if it works! Sorry I can't help...

PS. Amazon has some reviews on it, and they look positive....

As I am done with the process and that all is as it should be, then the obcession starts again! Sometimes when I say: this is just OCD and all is fine, it aleviates a little but still it is there afterwards. Are you experiencing the same/
