It's about Tolerating the Itch and Stopping the Scratching Response

It's about Tolerating the Itch and Stopping the Scratching Response

Chris discusses the idea that a lot of people tolerate the scratching behavior with the hope of getting rid of the itch. But success in the fight against OCD is about tolerating the thoughts and the anxiety that they cause and instead focusing on stopping the compulsions. This is where grit and resilience, along with a touch or two of uncertainty, are you ally.
