Description

Do you struggle to accept the presence of unwanted thoughts, feelings, images, sensations, and urges? Do you find yourself in a constant battle with your brain, attempting to suppress what is out of your control? Are you worried that allowing the unwanted thoughts and images to occur and exist means that you like and agree with them or that something bad will happen? Do you struggle to sit in silence or do mindless activities like reading, watching TV, and driving because you’re afraid of your brain and what it will come up with?

In the hour presentation, I will address:

• What acceptance is, in the context of OCD treatment, and how it applies to OCD
• Thought suppression and why it doesn’t work
• How acceptance mirrors mindfulness
• Myths about acceptance in OCD treatment
• How to put acceptance into practice
• Roadblocks to practicing acceptance
• How meditation can aid acceptance
• And more!
