Q.) How do I help someone to get help for ocd?

A.) All you need is exactly how you found me. What I would do is not spend so much time looking for help, but actually more time facing the fears that are driving their rituals head on. Help them pick their toughest ritual and this week see how long they can go without performing the ritual before they give in. Help them set a record and coach them. This will start to show them that it's possible to decide not to do the ritual for a while and it will start to show them that they do indeed have control over it. These baby steps work better.

Q.) What is the anxiety that has caused this?

A.) Depends on what's going on. Anxiety is caused by fear. Ask yourself what fear is driving you to do rituals. Then this week I want you to plan one day with a friend where you will go and face your fear head on. Let me know what happened. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Q.) How can I control my anger

A.) Ask yourself if you should be angry about what you are angry about. Most of the time we should not react with such anger. Tell yourself something funny at your most angry point, such as, "Thank God my feet don't stink today!" Say this outloud and see what happens to your anger...

Q.) very severe ocd n my whole day is spent doing compulsions,dont know wat am i doing,i am very nsucessfull,bored,i am complete waste....

A.) You are not a complete waste, you are suffering from obsessive thoughts. You may not know how they happened but they did and now you've got to deal with them and ultimately get rid of them. You are doing right by looking for help. The Bible says that if you seek, you will find! Good for you, you are half way there, because you have admitted that there is a problem and have sought help. Now what will help you? Tons of things. I remember when I had to quit my job because I would not work but just perform rituals! That is horrible! I pushed everyone away and lost everyone! Because I chose the OCD over them. I chose to be ruled by my fear.

I want you to know that knowing and having been where you are there is hope. You just have to start choosing your friends and happiness and not your fear. This week, I want you to see how long you can go without performing your toughest ritual. Make a record for yourself and let me know how far you made it!

Q.) How can I get away from the need to horde everything. If I could do that, learn to release the things, then I could clean up and get on with life.

A.) Get a friend to come over THIS WEEK and help you get rid of some of the things that you have hoarded. You don't have to get rid of everything at once, but get rid of some of the things THIS WEEK. Have your friend or family member there for moral support. I want you to let me know how it turned out! I believe you will get a little victory out of this and take a step in the right direction!

Q.) Why do I get bad thoughts? Things that I would never do or others would never do...it creates negativity in my life.

A.) Everyone gets bad thoughts so you are not weird or anything. The only difference is that people with OCD tend to dwell on these thoughts while others would simply dismiss them. What you need to do is ask yourself what someone without OCD would do. How would they handle this thought, would they just dwell on it or let it go?

Ask this to yourself, "As if I did'nt have OCD, how would I handle this thought?"

Then handle it accordingly.

Q.) Does EFT help diminish OCD symptoms?

A.) Yes emotional freedom techniques can help. You'd be surprised at how many techniques actually work. Here's the kicker...The technique usually only will work if you BELIEVE that it will! Jesus said, "By your faith you are healed!" This is a universal principle even if you are not a Christian. It still works!

By the way, even a technique that usually does not work can still work if you believe it will! (the placebo effect)
