The Methodology

The Four Core Responses

Inside, you'll learn the four specific ways to respond to intrusive thoughts that change everything.

1. Acceptance

Stop fighting the presence of the thought. Learn to let it exist without the battle.

2. Uncertainty

The "maybe, maybe not" mindset. Break the need for constant certainty.

3. Indifference

Reducing the perceived importance of the thought. "So what? Who cares?"

4. Agreement

Agreeing with the OCD's worst-case narrative to neutralize its power over you.
