Monitoring progress from "summary" of The Mindfulness Workbook for OCD by Jon Hershfield,Tom Corboy
Monitoring progress is an essential concept in the treatment of OCD. It involves keeping track of your efforts to overcome the disorder and noting any changes or improvements you observe. This process allows you to see how far you have come and identify any areas that may need more attention.
When monitoring progress, it is important to be objective and honest with yourself. Try to avoid overly critical or judgmental thoughts, and instead focus on the facts of your progress. This can help you stay motivated and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
One way to monitor progress is to keep a journal or log of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to OCD. By writing down your experiences, you can track patterns and trends over time. This can help you and your therapist identify triggers and develop coping strategies.
Another method of monitoring progress is to set specific goals for yourself and track your progress towards achieving them. This can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue working towards recovery. It is important to set realistic and achievable goals to avoid becoming overwhelmed or discouraged.
In addition to tracking your thoughts and behaviors, it is also helpful to monitor how you are feeling physically and emotionally. Pay attention to any changes in your mood, energy levels, or sleep patterns. This information can provide valuable insights into how OCD is affecting your overall well-being.
Monitoring progress is not only about looking back at how far you've come, but also about looking forward to where you want to be. By staying mindful of your progress and remaining committed to your treatment plan, you can continue to move towards a life free from the constraints of OCD.
