How do we get comfortable with pain and loss intrusive thoughts bring up?
We don’t need to feel good about loss. What we’re exploring is how to allow and make space for it. That may include feeling very very bad about it. Can it be OK for you to have experiences like that?

Mark please make a bideo on how to be kind to ourselves
Suffering with severe harm ocd please help
Mark, I’m struggling pretty bad with thoughts that circle around hurting loved ones close to me….it comes and it goes but it’s been pretty bad lately and I find myself non stop ruminating, I sit with discomfort, I feel like I’m working on not having compulsions, anxiety hits so hard and then depressed feelings and dpdr comes often afterward, it’s a vicious cycle and I’m really struggling…I find myself waking up having the thoughts, throughout the day and into the evening, I then start going down the “I’ll have these kind of thoughts forever” hole and end up just going and going, I own a business and have a wonderful life I would like to focus on but this ocd struggle is keeping its grips on me and Im just hoping you have some insight, I’m in erp therapy for a year now and sometimes I feel better and sometimes I don’t, today is just a hard day and I find myself inside my head saying “I’m not ok”. “This is going to ruin me”. What are your tips to help in moments/days like these?
