Magical Thinking OCD: When your Brain Believes THOUGHTS can CONTROL Reality

Подробнее о видео

Are you afraid that just thinking something bad might make it happen? You're not alone. In this video, I explain how magical thinking OCD shows up - those superstitious rules, intrusive thoughts, and mental compulsions that make you feel responsible for preventing bad things… just by thinking the “right” way.

You'll learn:
✔️ What magical thinking looks like in OCD and anxiety
✔️ Why trying to “cancel out” thoughts only makes anxiety worse
✔️ How Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) breaks the fear cycle
✔️ What to do when thoughts feel powerful or dangerous
✔️ Why thoughts don’t control reality—and never did

If you’ve ever caught yourself avoiding words, numbers, dates, or even colors… or feel like your rituals are keeping disaster away, this video is for you. Magical thinking can feel overwhelming - but it doesn’t have to control your life.
