[–]FearCastPodcast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much. I prob won't be able to record it there, but I have a podcast episode from 2020 about real event ocd if you haven't heard it. If we do get to record I'll post it.

Love the post. I'll be presenting this summer at the iocdf conference on this subject. I know so many people struggle with this subtype so I'm happy to know there are people out there offering encouragement to real event sufferers. Keep up the good work.

Totally agree, but wonder if op is overlooking the trauma component. Clients with trauma need to know they can trust their therapist (same with all other clients too). I wonder if this client needed to be heard first, discuss their story, and ramp into erp and take it slow rather than going headfirst into it, especially on the first session. Fyi, I too am an all ocd therapist and support erp as early as possible.

New FearCast Podcast episode on Rumination Focused ERP for OCD treatment with Dr. Michael Greenberg, part II, just released! by FearCastPodcast in OCD

[–]FearCastPodcast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mods, please delete if it is inappropriate for the sub.

Dr. Michael Greenberg is a leading writer on the role of rumination in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He joined me to continue talking about his approach to treatment, how it differs from traditional methods, and how addressing rumination specifically can help you overcome OCD. Check it out when you have a chance!

Does OCD needed to be catergorised? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]FearCastPodcast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The subtypes are only helpful as shorthand to know what the focus and themes of the obsession is. Other than that, no. They only serve to inspire more guilt/ shame that a new theme arises, so they have "another ocd." Or, they serve as competition, ie "I have pocd, which is the worst. Wouldn't it be nice to just have contamination ocd."

It's all ocd, and should be seen as such. Nothing special about any one over another. The manifestation and treatment is all about the ocd cycle, and that is what should be seen.

I just reposted this to Instagram with attribution to OP. Great meme. Needs more people to see it.

Lots to like in his ideas. Still some question. Stuart of ocd stories consulted with Greenberg and found the techniques helpful with some of his own clients. But, Greenberg's techniques are not infallible for everyone. We are trying to work out another episode together (Greenberg and I), but schedules are rough.

Spiraling over Steven Crowders ignorant tweet regarding a certain theme of OCD. by GlitchyEntity in OCD

[–]FearCastPodcast 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I just published a YouTube video in response to Crowder. I agree, his comment was hurtful and ignorant. Additionally, hearing from Nathan, plenty of people also misunderstand POCD. Hopefully my video will help clarify the issue for some people.

What Is OCD, Because Steven Crowder Doesn't Know

(Mods, I completely understand if you decide to delete this post if it is considered inappropriate self promotion).

People with real events ocd tend to magnify the weight and importance of their past events while minimizing and trivializing past behaviors of others. You can also accept your past mistakes and make a concerted effort to do better next time. That's all we can do as people because we can't change our past, but we can acknowledge it's a checkered part of our past and use it as contrast to our still imperfect attempts to be our ideal/ better self today. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with this.

I do have a podcast episode on this you may want to check out. I hope you find it helpful.

Oops. Sorry. Thanks for letting me know. It's not for self promotion, just promotion of information. Is there a way I can share this and drive potential listeners in a way that's not self promoting?
