my husband is suffering from severe OCD.a sequence of negative imaginary thouts run thru his mind continuously.he thinks any outside person is coming home and meeting me (his wife)in his absense. this can be any person he sees outside our home. we love each other alot. he knows that i m good and he wants to trust me but his mind never allowes him to do so. after suspecting any person he makes his own stories and that story runs thru his mind continuously. On the net i read about CBT therapy being very effective in this case but unfortunately we couldn't get any dr. till now. i would like to know how we can start cbt on our own. i read about exposure and response prevention method but as he is afraid of people we are away frm society. currently we are trying to avoid all panic situations rather than solving the problem. he has a habit of checking people, and visit home from office 3 4 times a day to keep himself relaxed. we used to chat throughout the day during his office hours. he doesnt talk to anyone in office as well. The thing is CBT is very practical, and I think it's a great idea of you to learn to use CBT. If you can talk freely with your husband using CBT yourself and telling him about it can definitely help. Very kind of you to help your husband like this. Reading on the net about
