They discuss the difficulty of applying common coping strategies to Real Event OCD, as the condition feels incredibly real and unyielding. The speaker also touches on the misconception that the lack of anxiety means the thoughts are genuine concerns, rather than OCD manifestations.

Transcripts
welcome to another ocd recovery youtube
video we just did our real event webinar
uh two days ago and so i thought i would
come on here and talk a little bit more
about real event
um
i suffered with real event ocd for many
years and it was sort of latched 24 7
what it felt like chronic guilt waxing
and waning in the background okay now
other ocd fears sometimes felt like they
gave me a bit of space they felt they
gave me a bit of room uh but with that
one it certainly didn't it was a latched
on feeling that sort of simmered away in
the background like i was living in
somewhat a cortisol soup
and it was very much like that and it
looked basically ocd scours the past
like a homing missile looking for
things in the past that your conditional
self-acceptance which i had at the time
brings up so if i did dot dot dot i
couldn't accept myself i'd be a
so-called bad person i believed
therefore i deserve to feel guilty i
should endlessly punish myself and i
don't even deserve to be happy for one
second and that sort of constant
hammering in the mind internal torture
we know that feeling if we're suffering
from that
now
with that real event ocd that certainly
did not you couldn't put it off like you
used to hear things on the internet
saying oh just put it off for worry time
well you couldn't do that it was like no
hasta you have to feel crap now you
can't be let off by leave this to worry
time it didn't work like that some of
the other fears other ocd fears felt
lighter like oh what if i forgot a
document what if i lost something what
if i lost my passport that was still
causing me interference before going on
a flight where if my holidays ruined
because i forgot something but nothing
compared to when those ones ramped up
the real event harm ocd um
and i didn't have any idea that i had
ocd at the time so it was just like i i
thought that i how i was feeling was a
genuine
uh concern definitely not ocd i didn't
even know what ocd was but even later
when i did i still thought no this one
definitely isn't it feels as real as it
can get i don't even feel anxious the
classic backdoor spike where it's sort
of trying to get you with that like oh
if you're not anxious that means they
must be real because we try and
frantically tell ourselves that the uh
that this is ocd just an ocd thought and
it's like sort of saying sorry my
language it's sort of saying [Â __Â ] you uh
there's no chance i'm letting you off
the hook with that um you're you've
definitely done done this uh it's
definitely real
and uh you can't get bypass this by just
telling telling yourself oh it's an ocd
thought because what a cop out wouldn't
everyone sort of uh like to get off
things in the past with that and it sort
of feels like that it sort of doesn't
give you that way out uh and so what we
cover in the in the webinars and in this
next one coming up the ocd recovery
journey webinars is the journey of
unconditional self-life and other
acceptance particularly here
unconditional self-acceptance where that
we haven't got that we're saying if we
did xyz in the past then we were
unforgivable we don't deserve to
even be at peace for one second and
that's where it's sort of trying to
sabotage us with saying our whole
future's now in jeopardy because we'll
never be able to be happy again if
that's the case we'll never be able to
be at peace again if that's the case
because we've done something that's uh
so bad that's unforgivable and therefore
the only existence for us is just
constant chronic anxiety for the rest of
our life which ocd is hunting out those
kind of specific things so it will go
you'll say oh well if i was this age i
could let myself off because i was a kid
oh if i was if i was that age i could
let myself off um i couldn't let myself
off so it keeps moving the goal post and
saying well you were that age you
definitely were that age so it keeps
doing that uh sorry the camera was
moving around a bit i hadn't put it on
this rest here um so if that's what it's
gonna do it's gonna it's gonna
specifically hunt out the things where
you say i definitely cannot accept
myself under that condition and if you
were 13 then it's going to say 14 15 16
same as if it's reverse if you're trying
to work out something maybe a
harm ocd relating to another person or
they were this age or whichever way
they're trying to get in if if it was
bad that they were younger or older or
whatever it's going to try and sabotage
that from every angle doing that um
ocd is going to do
do look for that it's always looking for
the [Â __Â ] in the armor it's always
looking for that gap in the past where
there's uncertainty where you can't
really work out if it was if it was real
or not and it's going to morph that and
even if you know it's real it's going to
morph how it was or the act in some way
or another um and it does that and then
you'll just be frantically thinking but
why wasn't i ever worried about this
before why did this never ever bother me
before because of that's how it's
manipulated the scenario right and then
oh if only i could replay if only there
was cctv showing exactly what happened
then i could be at peace the sort of
intolerance to uncertainty as well as
the intolerance to the thing
and so that's what we break down by
changing our perspectives we don't need
nothing in the past in matters whether
it was real or not uh it doesn't matter
at all
unconditional self-acceptance gets under
it regardless it's unconditional it does
exactly what it says on the tin but
we're so fixated on needing that relief
and then feeling like we're just about
to get the key for a lock that's going
to unlock us to eternal peace but just
as we reach for that key we never get it
and we're actually chasing a key for a
lock that doesn't even exist okay so
that's very much what that feels like
and i want to put it very specifically
what it feels like because on social
media and on the internet it's very
wishy-washy how they talk often about
real event ocd sort of just leave it's
just a thought it's just a false memory
it's nothing not a it's just an idea a
thing that you've thought a silly
thought no no it doesn't release that
simplistically if it did there'd be very
few people stuck with real event ocd and
it very much doesn't um it often it we
can release with getting a difference
changing your perception um of your
thoughts uh learning to sit with
uncertainty in milder cases but usually
in the chronic cases you do to get to
bring it down so that you're less
bothered by it you have to be less fused
to it and to be less fused to it you do
tend to have to take the edge off it and
to do that that means changing your
perspective of it a bit and then as you
work towards acceptance that's a much
more liberating feeling because that
sort of cuts underneath whatever ocd has
been lacked forever because it doesn't
always release like that
in a lot of cases i can change someone's
relationship with thoughts and
perspective of things and create some
distance and uh work on a bit of
acceptance with it change their
perspective showing them uh however they
were
they're a fallible human being and how
they acted doesn't make them bad rotten
through and through and learning to have
compassion for others that then makes it
easier to have compassion for themselves
but the problem is it's still often not
off it will yes often but
but the problem is
when you're stuck when you're
chronically latched you've got to not
try and force acceptance so it's not
like you have to fully accept it have
complete peace with it sometimes it does
help i've got that with lots of the real
event and it just made it so much easier
when i did that with unconditional
self-acceptance that took time and that
took practice but you don't usually need
to get to that level of acceptance you
usually are able to
unfuse from it with a with less a level
of that depth of acceptance but it just
depends on the situation and i have to
be very careful outward this because
otherwise people feel disheartened
either that feels too difficult or
whatever whatever works for you the goal
is
to end chronic anxiety and chronic guilt
if it hasn't gone and you've tried
leaving it there with mindfulness you've
tried leaving it there with medication
meditation you've tried not fighting it
internally for a long time you're gonna
have to go to deeper level acceptance
and how
close you'll have to go to unconditional
self-acceptance just depends on how you
feel it's different for different people
i mean there are some people that and
like myself there are some people that i
had to really really break down those
core fears a lot to get that release
until i accepted for example having hiv
making peace with hiv remember this
isn't agreement you can watch our videos
on this youtube channel about why
acceptance is an agreement the common
misconception but
what happens is with me until i made
peace with even if i had hiv it didn't
really release it stayed latched and i
don't like to be disheartening to say
like to people sometimes you're gonna
have to go to that level but it does
depend on your situation for me
once i had accepted and made peace with
having hiv
that was such a difference with health
ocd that was like no fears um in
relation to that fear anymore gone there
was just nothing there was nothing to do
with that held me back so it was never a
trigger there was never anything and
then once i did that to other fears like
fear of going to prison like once i
broke that fear down like that never
triggered me again like once you do that
it's so powerful like unconditional
self-acceptance is so empowering that
and so freeing like the way i view my
life like not needing other people's
approval not needing this idea of you
have to be a success you have to be a
dot dot dot i don't need that i work
because i enjoy what i do and we like to
achieve things as human beings because
it's beneficial both to other people's
lives and to our lives but it's not
something that i feel internally
compelled like that and that's very much
like anything like
if you lose a partner that you're in
love with i can see rationally that i
can be fine on my own as a human being i
can see rationally i can be fine without
all these things that we think we need
but we don't actually need them like we
think we do so that is so liberating and
it took time it took practice and it was
an amazing journey and it was the most
empowering um life-changing uh journey
that i went on and if i hadn't had that
level of suffering that hard ocd teacher
i would have never experienced
everything that i experienced today that
that level of freedom no chronic guilt
no anxiety barely ever triggered by much
at all uh intrusive thoughts never there
apart from like the odd intrusive
thought like any human gets but with no
sort of hammering away machine gun like
intrusiveness so like that level of
freedom that's my existence that's my
life and that took a lot of practice and
work and whatever works for you like
that depth whatever works for you you
might have to go deep deeper with it but
that's that's not a problem it's just
more practice it's frustrating it's
annoying that it isn't as easy as we
want to be but we're all different like
i realized after years of mindfulness
meditation leaving thoughts there every
book under the sun on that that that
wasn't working for me my brain just
wouldn't take that
0.000 risk it just wouldn't it was like
no not that i just can't let you on that
one i'm sorry and so i knew that that
was my experience that was my internal
experience so i had to up the level with
the acceptance work and that's just like
albert ellis said and specifically
in the book the myth of self-esteem myth
of self-esteem kozipski who his
references said and you've probably seen
me quote many times he said god may
forgive your sins not a religious quote
but god may forgive in it's just because
of the times when it was written that
they they often referenced that god may
forgive your sins but your nervous
system won't and that was just like my
journey my nervous system would not
bloody let me off the hook it was just
fired up like my life was living 24 7
with that threat there all the time that
was my life and
i i i can't say
i can't say to people like um
when i obviously follow this account you
see that i'm often saying about leave
thoughts there and stuff like that i
can't like it eases things leaving
thoughts there changing your
relationship with thoughts it's a large
part of the journey but i mean how can
anyone say today that that is that that
that will lead to recovery it just
doesn't seem to do that you know and um
it's just something where it blows my
mind that today still it's so obvious
that
that is the key thing between recovery
and why so many people are still stuck
and why so many people are in ocd forums
because yes it's a part of it i can say
thought leaving thoughts there plays a
significant part in the journey but
there's no way
that with chronic ocd that you can say
that's all j i don't even what i'm
referencing here is i don't even want to
say that for mild ocd that that's good
enough a lot of the time yes even with
my mild ocd they get back to functioning
but if they have one event
one life event that [Â __Â ] that up where
they get a disease or their mum dies or
they lose their job they are in a
desperate situation because they haven't
got unconditional self-life acceptance
that are the sort of the internal
framework for that situation so i can't
say like oh for mild ocd that's that's
gonna be yes it is enough in terms of
getting back to no chronic guilt and
anxiety all the time but they'll be like
instantly derailed if a life event like
that comes along a hundred percent it
will because you see it happen and
that's why i think it should be taught
what we're talking about here rational
thinking unconditional self-life
acceptance in the schooling system
because humans are gonna come across
real adversities and they're gonna have
to adapt to those and and and that's key
and you most human beings if you
tweak their life with some if you were a
sort of god character and you tweaked
their life with some really unfortunate
events they'd be chronically anxious and
not able to handle those situations and
a lot of mild ocd recovery cases are
just ready to get sort of um back to
chronic anxiety once a really difficult
life event comes along and then they
just don't talk about how they feel and
so you don't see that they're actually
stuck again and for chronic ocd there's
absolutely
no way that with with some situation
where somebody is really scared of a
particular outcome that that's just
going to calm down like having spoken to
so many people over the years with ptsd
people with cancer people with parents
dying all sorts of situations
the best and most peaceful state i ever
see them in is when they've accepted and
made peace with that outcome in reality
now remember acceptance is an agreement
so
that is so absolutely crucial for
getting under it to bringing that much
calmer state think of someone in the
army
if they're at peace with i might die in
this battle
that's obviously going to put them in a
mindset where they're much calmer than
somebody who's absolutely utterly
terrified of of the whole of the whole
situation and death and everything much
more than someone who's been maybe in
the army for 10 years and has come to
terms with that a lot more and you see
that talked about spoken about in films
and you see that referenced in the past
in history and it's so key it's it's so
important that we look at real events we
look at life events that are going to
happen to any of us we're going to be
hit with life events and
why not work towards acceptance like i
from the beginning i'm teaching people
straight in the door when they come in
towards unconditional self and life
acceptance calmly gradually changes in
perspectives changes in life philosophy
to ease that into position with gradual
exposure work which is just basically
facing fears in small doses which any of
us can do for ourself once we actually
think about it's not a rocket science
exposure is just a word for if i was
scared of a chairs a chair here i would
ah i'd look at a chair then i'd build up
to touching a chair and so on we can do
our own exposures we can build that it's
not rocket science we learn to stop the
compulsions as we're moving towards the
chair we're learning to change our
perspective of the chair these kinds of
things and that whole journey that
brings that internal piece so whatever
it takes for you don't think oh there's
there's never a case now this is
this is the most important point i've
never met anyone treatment resistant in
my whole life i've never heard of a so
i've never ever met somebody who was so
called treatment resistant who when i
spoke to them i couldn't see instantly
what they're scared of people coming who
had deep brain stimulation from all
different hospitals in the world they're
completely hopeless they come in the
door and instantly you can see ah he's
scared of this and he just doesn't know
how to not be scared of that okay so
it's always the perception of something
there is no chronic anxiety without a
fear of something you change your
perspective of that which may take a lot
more work than you want and i don't want
to be disheartening to people but it's a
reality it's a fact so you've got to
sometimes go a lot deeper than you want
not compulsively in a balanced way
and that will get under it bit by bit
and it's different for different people
some people i can think of
guys on this youtube channel um has been
done loads of videos uh adam and he
had was terrified of of being
transgender and then he had to do a lot
of exposure work all around that to
bring that fear right down and he will
say always that until he did that the
fear just didn't come down for him
and so it's different for different
people on the amount that you need to do
with all different journeys all
different experiences but it doesn't
matter how long stuck
it doesn't matter if it's morphing
moving whatever it's just a case of
getting under it with acceptance i don't
i have to be realistic and i have to
tell people you're gonna have to go
deeper with the acceptance there's a
video on deeper acceptance on this
channel you're gonna have to go deeper
often with acceptance and how much
further towards unconditional
self-acceptance you have to go is just
until you experience no chronic anxiety
and no chronic guilt which may be a
large part fear of fear changing your
relationship with ocd changing your
relationship with being stuck the
so-called stuff forever fear the fear of
fear but changing your relationship with
the sort of fused-like state and
becoming an observer of your thoughts
more different sometimes people are
overdoing acceptance and they need to
become better observing the thoughts all
those angles looking at all of that so
whichever angle it's coming from or
you're stuck on or you're locked up on
we can ease that from and look at that
and and work out exactly what's going on
there and ease that off bit by bit but
often the key point is with things like
real event ocd we often have to go to a
deeper level of acceptance than we
expect and that really helps get under
those roots of where it's latched with
chronic you know if you're experiencing
chronic guilt like you feel like chronic
guilt all the time then yes you may have
to do more work there uh the same with
chronic anxiety um i will be talking
about this in a lot more detail in the
ocd recovery one two and three webinars
we've come up on the journey which is
like a compact uh ocd recovery journey
kind of workshop that's coming up if you
want to come to that email info
ocdrecovery.com and um
and yeah and then you can book onto that
webinar uh so yeah that was basically a
sort of rundown of some of the key
principles around real event ocd and i'm
going to be back on here talking a lot
more about different ocd themes and
getting under them and coming at them
from different angles and a lot to do
with changing our relationship with
thoughts and creating distance in that
sort of fuse-like state and just getting
ourselves to a position where we don't
experience chronic anxiety and chronic
guilt anymore because that is the goal
that's what we want and when i got to
the other side of that and i realized
hey look nothing's triggering me
nothing's bothering me um
i can't be easily sort of uh swayed by a
scary thing or there's nothing i'm
avoiding like people say to me all the
time they say
they say you hear thoughts all day long
of peoples with ocd all the time
how do you not get triggered i said
because it's not because i'm not running
from them when i was scared and i had
ocd i was always trying to run from them
i never wanted to hear them i wanted to
get away from them i was i remembered
getting triggered by different
existential fears sensory motor and then
being stuck and thinking [Â __Â ] i've got
to keep away from notes but then when
you go towards it does the opposite
that's what you need to do you need to
hear any of them you need to get used to
that getting uncomfortable going into
the fear not trying to run away that's
the key
key message

tomorrow to carry on with some more

give out as much information as we can
about ocd recovery so people realize why
they're stuck and they're still stuck
and they're not so called treatment
resistant and they're just they're just
scared of something and they haven't
learned yet how to not be scared guys
great to see you all i'm speaking at the
same pace as nick today i've been
watching too many of his videos probably
um and so uh yeah i have to uh slow down
maybe do a bit of mindfulness um
so yeah it's
i think with the videos that we're doing
we're producing lots of different videos
and i'm going to try and because you
guys been dm dming me and telling me
what you want to see in these videos i
want to make sure that we get lots more
covered on the individual themes t ocd
pocd
real event ocd acceptance unconditional
like all about that so there's a lot
more on those sort of individual
chapters of the ocd recovery journey so
that is what i'm going to be doing so
look out for that over the next couple
of weeks guys
great to see you all see you later
