Erin Nghe, the founder and clinical director of OCD Set Free talks about the role of certainty (and uncertainty) in OCD.

She explains a tip that she often shares with her clients:

You don't want to give OCD even 1% of certainty. Why? The reality of the situation is that OCD will never be satisfied.

You could try to give OCD only 75% of certainty or 85% or 90%, but the truth is that it will never be enough to appease OCD.

Even though there are very few things in life that can offer 100% certainty, OCD constantly demands certainty from you.

But you deserve better! You don't deserve to be mentally exhausted. You don't deserve to be physically exhausted. You deserve to be present in your life!
