70. How OCD Works — Faster EFT NLP

i think it starts as a depressive illness that graduates to a "cognitive disorder"

I don't believe these are illnesses but rather internal skills developed to deal with the world and ones emotions. It is cognitive.

these illnesses have a common thread, being creative in a negative bent,,vs a positive theme..i think throwing all your energy into a cognitive approach first is preferred over meds & far safer..

My comments were aimed at Billysue, not HealingMagic. I hope that was clear.

Who are you to determine this? Psychiatrists prescribe LOTS of medications. They keep prescribing until something work. Does that sound like they have a real handle on the problem? I don't think so.
We can always "mask" the pain and problem with drugs, but Western Medicine has fallen short in terms of cures and preventions.
Your ideas are classic "old fashioned" Western Medicine. Lets move into the 21st century, shall we?

I am no expert in your field but I am familiar with what comes to me & how many years they have been in therapy without any or very little changes. Their problems increased & are heavily drugged. You too are from the mindset that only CBT Therapists can make changes which limits your ability to move beyond your current skills. I am good in my area & my persistence builds understanding & freedom in my clients. I do recommend seeing a therapist, priest, voodoo magician if they work! Keep trying!

you said diagnosis,treatment and medication was for those who dont know how to make changes.CBT is the recommended therapy for OCD and doesnt involve the psychoanalytic approach(the couch lying),it is a relatively short term therapy and would not last 1 year let alone years.

As you may know I am not in judgement of them but rather I help others change...without drugs or years lying on a couch. I am sure they make changes on some level... I wish them luck and well as myself

treatment of OCD involves collaboration between doctor and patient when using CBT but it is the patient who does all the changing, of cognitive distortions and belief systems.You think accredited CB Therapists dont know how to create change in these patients?

First of all we do not treat, diagnose or even give medication that is for those who do not know how to make changes. If someone comes to me and want changes then I work to create them. This young man had many diagnoses, years of drugs, and his problems were getting worse then he came to see me. This is when he started getting changes. You can go to #90 I tell even more of his story.

OCD is not the territory of a life coach/NLP practitioner.Its for a psychiatrist to diagnose and treat with therapy and medication if necessary.

Thoughts are a result of recorded life experiences which in turn it produce emotions and behaivors

you cant explain it since a plausible explanation doesnt exist

actually emotions result from thoughts which drive behavior.

Yes, and these are the same "educated" people who believe the Universe's creation was an act of random events, and not under the direction of a creative intelligence. I guess since no legitimate physicist can come up with a scientific explanation for gravity, and since results don't speak for themselves, we can safely step of a 10th story balcony, and not hurt ourselves. Yes, educated people can be "book smart", but have the common sense of Homer Simpson. Keep thinking that way.
