The uncomfortable truth is that people who recover faster from OCD are the ones who are doing more work to recover. So if a person is really pushing hard to disregard, not obsessively, because you don't want to get into meta ocd, but if they're really focusing on not taking the bait, on not reacting, on reducing compulsions every single day, they're going to recover a lot faster than if somebody who's doing just like the bare minimum, taking steps back and whatever. So if you want your speed of recovery to be faster, starting now, all you have to do is push harder. You're reducing by one compulsion a day, reduced by three. You're reducing rumination. Reduce more. See where the leak is happening. A lot of the times this is what we work on with clients. We look at where the leaks in, let's say, room. A lot of rumination is happening and stop doing the behaviors. You're talking to ChatGPT a lot. Deleted from your phone. You're talking to family members a lot. Sit them down and say, listen, next time I ask you a reassurance question, don't give me the answer. Push harder in your recovery to recover faster or go slower in your recovery and you'll recover slower. Sometimes people want to recover faster, sometimes people want to recover slower depending on their circumstances. All of it is okay. I always say this, that even the snail will get to the end of the street at some point. So there is an end to your suffering. You will. If you're doing any kind of recovery work, you will recover. But if you want to do it faster, you got to push harder. Emergency session is available. The link is in the description.
