Is thought stopping a good strategy for OCD?

Episode Notes "Stop thinking about it" gets a bad rap in OCD circles — and rightfully so when people mean it as thought stopping, because that's impossible. But there's a distinction worth making. You can't prevent a thought from appearing, but you absolutely can direct your conscious attention elsewhere. That's thinking stopping — and that's actually one of the most powerful tools you have. OCD is the distraction. Everything else is your life. 💙 __ #OCD #MentalHealth #OCDAwareness #OCDRecovery #OCDTherapy __ Disclaimer: This Podcast and all of our mental health learning and educational content is not therapy and is not a replacement for therapy.
