GG apps help reduce ROCD symptoms
I have used the GG apps on my iPhone on and off for the last couple of years and can attest to the effectiveness of the apps. I think for me it helps makes the distinction between reality and my intrusive thoughts clearer (and any help in that direction is a bonus). What is 'real' and what isn't. I've also come to the conclusion that if I think it 'might' be an ROCD thought, then it is! When my mind is not in 'full on ruminating mode', then I think differently. I guess I probably think like most other people: I am realistic and able to make decisions and then move on without needing further evidence (otherwise known as compulsive thinking).
If I feel anxious or worried about thoughts that are coming in to my head and if it is about the same old content, then for me its ROCD. This is incredibly helpful as it helps me stick to my values and to ignore them. I'll be talking more about values and how they are an incredibly important compass for the person with OCD more at a later date.
For me, any kind of therapy whether in person or online is about trust. I have met many professionals over the years who have been excellent in their own field but who have no idea about ROCD and how to treat it... and that can actually be quite dangerous, particularly as ROCD is rarely rational. Anyway back to trust, and the founder of the app Dr Guy Doron seems to knows a lot about ROCD and although I don't know him I would rather a specialist in the field. So I think it's definitely worth a look and lots of levels are free so you haven't got anything to lose!
