Hi everyone,
I thought I’d share a candid post about my journey as well as a message of encouragement for everyone to utilize the coaching services.
OCD appeared in my life at an early age, but I only started suffering chronically in 2020 (at the age of 33), latching primarily to False Memory / Real event OCD.
Although I was always a high functioning sufferer, daily life was shrouded in a veil of anxiety, chronic guilt and despair. OCD had my mind in a vise where perpetuity of mental compulsions was all I knew.
It was only in 2022 when I began following Rob and OCD Recovery that things really started to turn around for me. I can’t stress enough how significant this moment was. My recovery journey has not been linear and about a year ago I had a pretty rough setback after feeling good for a substantial period, but even then I felt so fortunate to have OCD Recovery.
My sessions with Momin have been invaluable. He is so patient and exacting in identifying where my beliefs and behaviors are working against me, to say nothing of his storehouse of fresh and lucid perspectives.
OCD recovery synthesizes a philosophical and behavioral approach rooted in REBT and, more importantly, the lived experience of the coaches themselves which far exceeds the slim pickings of conventional OCD content and literature available online (often as tedious as as the disorder itself).
Rob and the team have changed the very idiom around this disorder which has been life changing for many. If you’ve been part of this community for a while, it’s easy to take for granted a sentence like “OCD is a belief disorder, not a thought disorder”, but when I first read that, it was one of many concepts that provided a lattice in the framework towards recovery.
If you’re struggling, don’t wait to reach out for help from the team. OCD Recovery is not only an incredible resource, but the only approach I know of that is truly effective.
