In this 50-minute video, we explore what truth might be – because so many people with complex anxiety, OCD or depression might benefit from seeing the truths that people without mental health issues tell themselves!
Secondly, we explore self-sabotage and what you can do about it – certainly watch this if you support a person with anxiety.
Goal of video
In this video, we return to complex anxiety and OCD to ask if what our mind believes to be true is actually true.
Because if it is not, our belief systems may be built upon something that may be restricting us rather than allowing us to grow.
In addition, who (or what) we look to for reassurance to calm us down and help us to make decisions really matters.
Are you being reassured by the person who may have initially (unknowingly) contributed to your anxiety in the first place, or are you being reassured by a person who knows this process and exposure therapy techniques?
Key messages
I know many people have trouble watching long videos, but I am a believer that we need to learn how to focus and pay attention, it is a skill we can develop (like meditation). Just so you know, the second half of this video explores examples of people I have worked with who have OCD and you may find it very interesting.
ERP is the best method for interrupting complex anxiety (OCD) and training yourself to not fear fear!
Is what we think is true – actually true!
Are we (knowingly or unknowingly) clinging to rigid beliefs? How can we be sceptical, but to still keep an open mind?
Truth is so very dependant on context, content and perspective – we need to explore these.
Often, what our ego hides from us (like dominance and control) is obvious to others.
The three mindsets that helped me:
- Energy has a massive effect on us, and we need to learn how to manage it. What frequency our energy resonates at matters, slow is heavy and exhausting; high is light and empowering.
- Our mind and unconscious is reprogrammable if you know how to do it (and how you want it to be!)
- Moving my perspective of myself from self to Self, from ego to higher self – changed everything.
Examples of the main ways people with OCD unknowingly sabotage themselves.
Why, who you receive your reassurance from matters!
