Today, I'd like to give you an alternative to scripting technique. When I was going through OCD 20 years ago, 20, 25 years ago, what I did. And I kind of did it by accident, but I found it to be somewhat effective. Now, this is. I don't really talk about it a lot because it's a little bit reassurance. Y. But if you must, if you must do this, at least this will keep you in productive mode towards full recovery. Okay, so follow me on this. You, let's say you have harm ocd, okay? So what you're going to do is you're going to write out your worst fear, but you're not going to write it out in the way of the scripting. You're going to write it out in one line. Like, literally no details at all. I would say four or five words max. Okay? So you'll say harmed person on the street, and then right next to it, you're going to put level of realness. So let's say, how much do you believe this thought? So level of realness. Ten. Okay? And just leave it. That's it. Then two days go by, three days go by, you get another thought. No matter how you. This is not about. I mean, obviously you need to have a correct reaction and whatever, but this is kind of so what you realize. So instead of realizing that the thought is not true, what you're actually realizing here is that I've had this before. So then, okay, a few days go by, another harm OCD thought, harmed person in grocery store. Level of realness, again, 10. And you're going to keep this list of different places where you harm different people. And after about 50, you're going to start to react a lot less because you're like, yeah, adding another one to the list. You know? Do you see what I'm saying? So that's an effective technique where we're not going into content beyond five words. We're just. We're actually showing to the brain that this is another OCD thought. Nowhere I'm not gonna react. And it soothes you a little bit. It is a tiny bit reassurance because you're still soothing yourself. But I think in this situation, it's fine. I think it's not gonna harm your progress at all. If anything, it will amplify the speed because it will help you react correctly. So you're not getting reassurance from trying to figure out if the thought is true. You're getting reassurance from experience of, hey, I've had it a thousand times. It's not true. Do you see what I'm saying? Emergency session is available. The link is in the description.
