Dear Tristan:

You are welcome. I can share with you about my experience with OCD over time, some today and then more later, as long as you are interested in reading about it. You can ask me questions about what I share, if you need clarification or to know more, and I will explain further.

“What tricks did you use to overcome OCD?”- I remember the moment when I was about 30, there was a particular thought I had, and the fear was that if I think it, it (that particular scary thing) will happen in reality. So, at that memorable moment, I said to myself: think it and see what happens. I thought it and nothing happened. Next, I intentionally thought it.. and again, nothing happened. So, I understood, really understood, deeply understood- that what happens between my two ears has no power over what happens outside the distance in between my two ears.

In other words, thoughts are powerless outside my brain and body.

“Do you still sometimes get those thoughts?”- yes, and I notice (I am still surprised that it is so), that I don’t experience the fear that used to go with these thoughts. Sometimes I doubt myself, I think: what if I am going to feel that fear, but then I say to myself: but I have done all this healing work for so long, and this work really does work!
