Yo, i was at therapy yesterday & me & my therapist touched on something deep that happened when i was a little child, quite a disturbing event which i've not been able to open until yesterday. So when we delved into it i ended up sobbing, now i'm not on about a couple tears, i mean an uncontrolable breakdown. Anyway, within an hour or so i noticed a lightness about myself, a calmness, i guess the kind of calmness i seeked that brought me into therapy in the first place. What i noticed as well is that my ocd didn't really bother me like it usually does & this got me thinking that regardless of whether there's any direct connection with trauma & ocd, there's a lot to be said about the therapeutic process & how ocd manifests itself, i've suspected this for a long time, which is that although i have no proof of this, i believe that my ocd will subside dramatically once i've dealt with all the narcissistic disturbances that are a result of my up-bringing, i don't want to get ahead of myself but there's no doubt in my mind that there's a huge connection with my ocd & the pandora's box that i opened just slightly yesterday. I just wanted to know if anyone else can relate to any of this

definitely mate, 100%. a lot of stuff happened in my childhhood and i got a lot of it out when i had therapy a little while ago. It definitely helps to put things in perspective and helps u to accept yourself for who you are. I know it had that effect on me. Good for u mate...onwards and upwards!

i think you're right, there is definitely a connection between trauma and lots of disorders, including ocd. mine only came out after experiencing a traumatic event, as an adult. but so glad you felt better afterwards, thats always good

wow breakthrough. im glad you experienced that calmness after you opend up C, makes the therapy and going thorugh the pain of opening up that box worthwhile... and certainly something to strive towards.. opening pandoras box.. one step at a time will get you there.. and i agree with your theory about the connection with ocd and your past traumas ect.. blocking things out will manifest in some other way.. some peopel take there hard upbringing and turn it on others become horrible nasty people and continue the spiral with there own kkids ect, some of us end up screwed up.. and inflict our selfs with the pain.. bu not letting go.. we continue the spiral with ourselfs.. i agree working through things will hopefully settle your ocd, i dont know how that will work.. but i hope your right.. well done C.. totaly..

Past experiences and the way we are brought up do have alot to do with OCD, i agree completly. My OCD is all with thanks to my mum!!! but i dont hold it against her! She herself has it. I really hope your therapy goes well, and you keep opening up. Best of luck, take care, love Lou xx
