Q.) hand washing

A.) The cornerstone of OCD. Transition from washing your hands, to putting a dab of lotion on your hands and this will help your hands to be moisturized instead of beat up with harsh soaps and vigorous scrubbing. So whenever you feel like washing your hands, don't. When it gets unbearable, put a dab of lotion on your hands and rub it in for no more than ten seconds. You can only repeat this once every three hours. This will help to train your brain to not continue washing. Replace your fear with a desire. What is it that you want out of life? Write down a few things. Then go after the first thing you wrote down. Do everything you can logically to accomplish it. When you have fears, say them out loud to disarm them, use the transition above and write down what you want to focus on or carry the list with you and look at it when your mind won't unfocus from OCD. Actually carrying the list with you, you can pull it out and this will help you refocus your mind from your fear to your desire.

(Questions are briefly answered here in this blog. I am currently creating a product that will answer these questions in great detail with "how to" step-by-step instructions and audio, so check for this in up coming e-mails!)
