Wrap a present with it! Use your creativity (which all of us with OCD have in spades) to come up with new ways to poke your OCD using what you wrote. Use it for taking notes that day, or write your grocery list on it. Knowing that you want your anxiety, now up the invisible ink game ante! Put the piece of paper in your pocket and carry it around.Yay anxiety! Remember to resist the temptation to check what you wrote using the pen’s UV light, as that would be a compulsion.and doing exposure (E) without response prevention (RP) makes OCD worse! Already your OCD is upset because you “shouldn’t be” writing these things, right? But it’s probably also going to be upset that it doesn’t know exactly what you wrote because neither of you can see it.For instance: blood, illness, death, cheating, bacteria, red, rabies, kill, harm, devil, assault, irresponsible, bad…the possibilities are endless. Using them, write one or more things your OCD is afraid of in invisible ink on a piece of paper.Set rules for the game that make it easier for you to win: you want to be anxious and embrace uncertainty because that’s how you get better!.To that end, an exercise that can really irk your OCD is the invisible ink game. And the more you can treat doing ERP exercises as a fun game where you get to take your turn torturing the disorder that’s been torturing you for so long, the better.
One of the most important parts of ERP is to make it a game-one with new rules that make it hard for OCD to win. Fred Talks: Taming OCD and Reclaiming Your Life.Post-Traumatic OCD Prolonged Exposure Form.Importance of Evidence-Based OCD Treatment.Individual OCD Therapy and Treatment (ERP).
