Unlock Control Over Ocd: Cognitive Strategies To Break The Cycle
Talking back to OCD involves understanding its mechanisms and utilizing cognitive strategies to challenge intrusive thoughts. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) help break the OCD cycle, while mindfulness, self-compassion, and thought-challenging techniques promote present-moment awareness, reduce self-criticism, and question the validity of anxious thoughts. These strategies empower individuals to control intrusive thoughts, reduce anxiety, and regain well-being.
