Monitor progress and setbacks through journaling from "summary" of REWIRE YOUR OCD BRAIN by CATHERINE M. PITTMAN AND WILLIAM H. YOUNGS
Journaling can be a valuable tool in your journey to rewire your brain and overcome OCD. By regularly documenting your progress and setbacks, you can gain valuable insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This process allows you to track patterns and triggers that may be contributing to your OCD symptoms. When you journal, be honest and open about your experiences. Write down your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment. This can help you identify any negative thought patterns or irrational beliefs that may be fueling your OCD. By shining a light on these patterns, you can begin to challenge and reframe them. In addition to tracking your progress, journaling can also help you recognize when setbacks occur. By documenting these setbacks, you can analyze what triggered them and come up with strategies to prevent them in the future. This can help you learn from your experiences and make adjustments to your treatment plan. Furthermore, journaling can be a cathartic and therapeutic practice. Expressing your thoughts and emotions on paper can provide a sense of relief and release. It can also help you gain clarity and perspective on your struggles with OCD. This process can be empowering and motivating, as it allows you to see how far you've come and how much you've achieved.- Journaling can be a powerful tool in your arsenal against OCD. By monitoring your progress and setbacks through writing, you can gain valuable insights, track patterns, and make informed decisions about your treatment. So grab a pen and notebook, and start journaling your way to a healthier, happier brain.
