A place to see good, share good, and do good.

I found Mark Freeman on Youtube a little over a year ago and it was right when I was in need of some extra help and encouragement in my personal battles with OCD. Mark Freeman is someone who has suffered from OCD , is diagnosed with OCD, but has worked very hard and over much time to get to a point in his recovery where he has been compulsion-free for a number of years now. Just a word for everyone's understanding, compulsions are actions or even cognitive activities that an OCD sufferer uses to attempt to control the anxiety that occurs with an obsession (bothersome, repetitive, and/or noxious thought). The truth is that it is the compulsion, the response to an unwanted or disturbing thought which causes the obsession, the repetitive occurrence of the unwanted thought or other trigger of anxiety. So the significance of Mark Freeman being compulsion free for years is quite remarkable, as he has, through much cognitive-behavioral work on his part recovered from OCD. I'm sure the tendency and possibility for relapsing back into OCD activity do remain, but he has retrained his mind and his reactions and relationship with his thoughts and feelings that his norm now is to be free of compulsions, in other words OCD free. He now shares his helpful tools and insights into recovering from OCD via Youtube as well as in writing. His videos are also very helpful for anyone really whether diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or not. I'm very grateful to Mark for sharing his first hand wisdom and insight so generously, may G-d bless him to continue this work and all the endeavors he's involved with! Below is a sample video useful to anyone, and i refer back to this one very frequently!
