"Maybe it will happen, maybe not" is a bull sh*t tool for OCD. (If you deal with pure o) If you're dealing with OCD And you've been told that you need to accept the thoughts in order to heal, or, in other words, accept uncertainty in order to heal, that might not always apply to you. You see, because I dealt with very dark, taboo, intrusive thoughts, and it never made sense for me to agree with those thoughts. You know, a lot of therapists or people will say, you have to say, maybe it will happen, maybe it won't. But when you deal with HOCD, POCD. And all these other dark, taboo themes, I don't believe it's beneficial, you know, to do that, because it won't maybe happen. You can be 100% certain in the person that you are. Building up that self trust, that self identity, that self esteem is what actually helped me heal from OCD. Now, obviously, we don't wanna do this compulsively, meaning when those thoughts come up, you don't wanna go, oh, I'm a good person, blah, blah, blah. How you build up that self trust is you have those intrusive thoughts, urges or images, but you don't engage with them because then you tell your brain, oh, that's just my OCD. I trust myself, and it's all good. And the other ways that you start to build up that self identity and belief is your actions, the person you are on a day to day basis. Again, you're not doing These actions to get rid of OCD. Or to prove it wrong, you're doing it because that's who you are. Deep down inside. That's who you wanna be. You're just working on building that self identity, on learning self love, on taking actions that serve you and nourish you. So, no, I don't believe in certain cases, you have to accept that the thoughts may come true. No, you don't. Do you have to learn to allow those thoughts to be there without engaging? Yes, but that has nothing to do with you having to, you know, think that they could possibly happen.
