OCD Says You're Not Disturbed Enough With Your Thoughts

OCD Says You're Not Disturbed Enough With Your Thoughts

Many people with OCD believe that the fact that they're disturbed by an intrusive thought proves they don't want it. But what happens when that fear, panic, or disgust starts to fade? In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains why OCD often latches onto your emotional reaction to intrusive thoughts, convincing you that you're not upset enough or that your response must mean something about who you are. He breaks down why intrusive thoughts don't reflect your desires and how learning to live with uncertainty can help break the cycle.
