Learn skills to resist obsessions and compulsions!

All material was written by a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) with twenty-five
years of counseling experience.

You first rate the frequency and strength of the OCD thoughts on a color coded
scale of 1 (fleeting) to 10 (continual, very difficult to resist).

You then move on to the first set of skills, where you will select one of ten
different calming activities to perform.

After following the instructions for the calming activity, you will select one
of ten ways to change your thoughts. Changing your thoughts in order to change
your feelings is the basis of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, the most
widely practiced form of psychotherapy.

After utilizing one of the thought changers, you proceed to selecting one
method for resisting the rituals or compulsions. This is the basis of exposure
and response prevention, the evidence based method of OCD treatment.

After implementing those skills, you rate the level of OCD again in order to
determine if the skills you chose were effective for you. If the level of the
OCD has not reduced sufficiently, you will be given the opportunity to try
again, selecting a different skill set.
