this video should be highlighted in the channel, one of the bests, because it approachs so many subtle things that perpatuate the cycle and explains why we are stuck even when we think we have "good insight"

Well said, Perfect!

I totally agree: reassurance is a drug; and the addiction is extremely powerful. I managed to overcome alcoholism, quit smoking. It wasn't easy; however trying to break my addiction to reassurance is infinity more difficult...

These videos need to be exposed even more. Most helpful videos

Great video ❤

So much reassurance seeking in groups for sure! It needs to be moderated:)

Forums, Facebook groups, and private messenger took away MONTHS of my life..... Finally getting it back! Thanks Rob

Thank you Rob.

Thank you for all you do. Much love for you ❤.

Thanks Rob!

I have learned a great deal from these videos. I thought that what I thought and felt was real precisely because it came from within me. The biggest breakthrough has been not doing it "one more time". When I finally practiced abstinence on the obsession and compulsion, I started feeling an incredible peace. The hardest part was awakening to the fact that my OCD behaviour is not NECESSARY. Big game changer. I was so scared what would happen if I just tried out "quitting". Turns out, letting go brings a flood of peace. There is no answer to my specific ocd obsession, because its not a real problem. The problem is the behaviour of obsession and compulsion itself. Once i see that, its like getting a chance to open my eyes for once. I have to know that its not normal, necessary, unique, or appropriate. That's what I have learned so far.

Wow! Very strong massage today! Thank you , Rob!

Great needed video Rob Your such a hero

I was not one to seek reassurance but I left all the groups because the constant reassurance and excuses were exhausting as well as the DMs on how I got better, people with ocd tend to ignore what they need to do even when it is repeated over and over. Thanks for the videos, for those that want to hear, they help a lot.

This really helped me today- I recently fell into a new compulsion taking up an hour of my time every day and I really need to be strict with myself to recognise it is a compulsion and not give in to it

You are my hero and your absolutely gorgeous. Keep saving lives god bless you .

Robert, this is a great video! True insight well explained and relatable but with key points! Thank you so much

We all love you guys. Thankd

Very good talk, I wish I could afford you class.

very helpful and eye opening

I feel like i have been getting reassurance even from this account by trying to understand am i doing it right... But understanding is also important..

Hey Rob, Your videos have helped me a great deal the past two months as my OCD latched after being gone for 7 years. I understand how hard it can be to moderate a Facebook page when it comes to reassurance but I had to leave your Fb group because of all the reassurance people are doing. I also felt a bit 'scared' because if you scroll down, most of the posts are from the people that suffer the most and therefore the posts I feel tend to give this feeling of dread mixed with relief when people keep doing reassurance. Idk, just scared me personally. I'll end on a question of this channel: If I feel these videos are becoming 'reassurance seeking' for me like I have to watch them throughout the day, how do I balance this when I know they are helping me learn about my OCD as well? Thank you Rob.

Hey there, do you have any advice for staring ocd? I am struggling so much and literally have no idea what the correct therapeutic way to handle it is. It’s causing me a lot of stress because it’s one of the few ocds that other people can see and it freaks them out. It’s truly awful

Did u write a book on ocd Rob? I heard it in the past videos.. Can u please tell me the name if u did?

Let's try recovery in reverse. Take person who is never expirienced ocd in life, what that person must do to get ocd?

Does ocd latch onto anything and then create a bull crap story in your head to cause anxiety?
