Ask Alegra: Mastering Mental Compulsions

Do you live with OCD and struggle with mental compulsions? Do you spend your days ruminating about your obsessions, checking in on your feelings and bodily sensations, replacing “bad” thoughts with “good” thoughts, and more? Do you jump into mental compulsions without conscious awareness because you have done them for so long? Do you have trouble distinguishing between an obsession and a mental compulsion? Do you want to learn tools to stop mental compulsions? And why this is not the same thing as thought suppression? If so, this workshop is for you!

In the hour presentation, I will address:

• What a mental compulsion is and how to differentiate it from an obsession

• Specific examples of mental compulsions

• Why stopping mental compulsions is not thought suppression

• Mindfulness skills to help create awareness of mental compulsions that you jump into without conscious awareness

• Skills to stop mental compulsions

• The application of ERP with mental compulsions

• And more!

This workshop is 1 hour of presentation and 30 minutes of a live Q&A.
