Trying a new approach to SOOCD using Bashar logic.

Hi all, I asked Chatgpt to create a step-by-step approach for my OCD using Bashar’s logic of demolishing deeply routed beliefs. I found this interesting to read so I figured I'd share it. (This is not therapy advice it's just for your entertainment.) 1️⃣ Identify the core belief, not the surface reaction What you want to break is usually not the belief you think it is. Example: • “I’m anxious around X” → surface level • “If X happens, I won’t be safe” → deeper • “I cannot trust myself to handle things” → core Your job is to get to the root statement—the one that creates the emotional charge. Ask yourself: What must I be believing is true for me to feel this way? Repeat that question until you hit the emotional center. ⸻ 2️⃣ Acknowledge the objective truth: the belief is a CHOICE You cannot experience a belief unless you are choosing it. Not consciously—but still choosing it. You don’t try to “fight” it. You simply say: “This is the belief I’ve been operating from. I chose it. And I can choose differently.” Ownership dissolves resistance. ⸻ 3️⃣ Ask the Belief Its Own Weakness Beliefs don’t like being interrogated. Say this (silently or out loud): “What proof do you have that you are true?” Not evidence from fear, not imagination, not what-ifs, but actual objective, physical reality proof. Most beliefs crumble right here because they were never grounded in objective reality—just repetition or emotional memory. ⸻ 4️⃣ Replace, don’t erase The mind doesn’t understand “delete.” It only understands “swap.” You pick the new belief like selecting a new weapon in a loadout. Ask: “What belief would I prefer to hold that feels more aligned with who I actually am?” Example: • Old: “If I don’t feel comfortable, something is wrong with me.” • New: “Discomfort is just my system stretching into a new configuration.” Or: • Old: “I can’t trust my thoughts.” • New: “A thought is just an option, not a command.” ⸻ 5️⃣ Take one action that proves the new belief Behavior is the engine. Belief is the steering wheel. You need one aligned action—even tiny—to signal the new belief is active. Example: • Text someone without overthinking → proves “I can trust myself.” • Watch the trigger without spiraling → proves “I can coexist with discomfort.” • Sit with a thought without reacting → proves “thoughts aren’t commands.” Action is what locks the belief in. ⸻ 6️⃣ Each time the old belief pops up, recognize it as a ghost trend Not a relapse. Not a failure. Just a habit echoing. Say: “Ah, that’s the old program. Not mine anymore.” Neutral acknowledgment destroys its power. ⸻ The Real Reason Beliefs Feel Hard to Drop Because the belief isn’t the issue. The identity attached to it is. When a belief ties into: • safety • stability • predictability • ego • childhood imprinting …it feels like dropping the belief = dropping part of yourself. But the truth? That piece of you isn’t you—it’s a survival reflex pretending to be you. Once you see that, the spell breaks.
