Chris explains the concept that exposures are really just opportunities to practice skills that allow you to interact with your anxiety-system in a different way. The biggest hurdle that you will face in trying to "treat yourself" is not having a therapist there to ask you the real questions. Why are you not working harder to get better? Why are you gravitating back to the same old way of interacting with your anxiety when you know that that way doesn't work?

Chris continues the series on striving to equip you to treat yourself by discussing the Cognitive Model. It's true that it's a basic concept ... and that OCDST has presented long presented the idea. BUT, that doesn't mean that you have worked to apply the model in real-time to your symptoms. Gotta do it! Map it out. Dissect your symptoms. You can't directly stop your thoughts; neither can you snap your fingers and change your feelings. But you CAN choose to not engage certain behaviors. That's your choice. But you need to find them first. Go get 'em.

-
Chris opines about the future of mental healthcare in general and OCD treatment in particular. Given the slow but steady, technological development of healthcare delivery in the past 20 to 30 years, it's only a matter of time. Soon AI human-like robots (like Max Headroom from the 80s) will serve as treatment experts, and patients will get themselves better with the use of highly developed and widely accessible, therapeutic applications.

Chris discusses a unique form of OCD that is, at the same time, common to the population: Perfectionism. In this case, it's not as straight forward as working to stop compulsions. The endeavor of behavior change is more about adding an ingredient than omitting one.

Chris discusses a phenomenon evident in the population nowadays that some people prefer to cut corners and find a quick fix for their anxiety. The trouble is a precious few "easy" fixes actually work for most people over the long haul. Nothing generally replaces doing the work of learning the ERP model and skill-set, and sharpening it into ready use to help yourself manage your anxiety system.
