“the greatest reality we can experience for mental health is the eternal love of God.”
Mark DeJesus, The OCD Healing Journey: Getting to the Heart of Our Obsessive and Compulsive Struggles

“It can be a breath of fresh air to realize that you cannot control what thoughts arrive into your thinking. Just because a thought “shows up” doesn’t have to mean anything. This is where OCDers get lost right off the jump, because they amplify their control issues in attempts to get their mind right. When in reality, that pressurized approach makes things worse.”
Mark DeJesus, The OCD Healing Journey: Getting to the Heart of Our Obsessive and Compulsive Struggles

“The OCD mind doesn’t know there is a difference between a passing thought, a temptation, a thought that becomes a place of desired meditation and actually acting on the thought. In black-and-white perspectives, they believe that if the thought showed up, it means something about themselves. It drives something known in psychology as thought-action fusion. They believe that having a thought arrive is the same as acting on that thought.”
