Only an OCD sufferer can actually feel "brain lock". Very informative video. I pray no one gets OCD as it makes life hell. Fortunately, as Doctor says with neuroplasticity we can rewire the gearbox in the brain without getting any meds like uvox.

How on earth this knowledge is not present in primary and secondary level schools curriculum?

You are not your brain one of the most life saving books ever. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE DEPTH OF YOUR HARD WORK.

a truly wonderful person - his book changed my life, it opened the possibility and the potential for me to take control of my mind and my life, what more could a person wish for.

Amazing guy. I've had severe OCD intrusive thoughts. Using mindfulness and his 4 step method. I live a much better quality of life now. Always live and reach for your higher self. Not your pain body or deceptive brain messages.

"Your brain becomes what you focus on, how you focus." Great

This book has changed and is continually changing my life! This man is amazing

I cannot get enough of this kind of material.

i read the book "You are not your brain" it has changed my life significantly. ..being mindful, your wise advocate and useing existing pinciples like hebbs law (neurons that fire together wire together) and quantum xeno effect (attention density (focus)).

I am a physiotherapist and recently went a cognitive behavioural course. I found this talk really inspiring and ultimately has to be recognised as the basis for all rehabilitation.

Dr Schwartz saved me with his book Brain Lock. Thanks to him, I got my life back

This man is a genius. It's a wonderful method

My life could have been so much better if I had learned this before my 30's.

Beautiful explanations. Would love to have you on the anxiety guy podcast as a guest one day. Much love. ❤️❤️🙏🙏

The best doctor in the world for OCD.selute you sir

This really helped me to understand the brain and thought patterns we acquire early in life. This man is a genius.

God bless this man! So helpful in my battle with tourettes.

I am 29 and have have severe OCD for over a decade. I resulted to sleeping in my car for over a year purely due to the inability to have an apartment. No one around me really know about my problem. I am distant and barely contact anyone so this ends up in my family thinking I am into criminal activity or hiding something, which is funny, but aggravates me too. My OCD is connected to my self-image and how I feel about myself. For instance, if I touch a trash can I view myself as trash or worthless. My body will react by getting hot, to the point that I started itching and feel light-headed. I am not worried about getting sick or anything like that. It is more so that to me certain events have an eternal energy and I want to avoid it. One more example... if someone who appears dirty or of bad character touches my shoulder during a greeting I will probably end up disposing that shirt. In my mind the person in question remains on my shirt. I realize it is crazy. You can watch my videos and see that I am normal... quirky, but normal. I hide it well, but inside it is a constant job stopping myself from suicide.

i enjoyed learning about brain patterns, habits and living on autopilot. I was motivated to redo my affirmations with more confidence knowing that i can experience a change of mind so long as I remain focused on my desired outcome.Thank you for the video!

I will keep this talk with my for the rest of my life, I even downloaded it to make sure I have it available whenever. What a comprehensive piece of quality work, this man is truly going to permanently change the way I relate to myself, my mind and my thoughts. I am truly grateful to have come across this great man.

Very well spoken, very well narrated, very well explained.. Very passionate lecture .. Thank You Sir ..

This is happening to me now. It's like I literally can't control my mind. It's so scary.

Thanks Dr. Schwartz as your book changed my life in a beautiful manner.

I wish if i could send Zillion - trillion likes to this video and way way more to this person for his efforts and hard work . Zillion salutes to u Sir . My life is a mess , but u gave me solution to my every problem . I know i gonna rise and bounce back now like a Phoenix who rise up back from its ashes . Zillion Thanks Sir . Lord bless u more and more to serve the humanity alot more 💐🌹💝

Wonderful talk! His passion is infectious.

Thank you very much Dr. Schwartz! God Bless you!

A blessing to a world✨ God Bless you sir 🙏

One of the sayings in his book is "It's not polemical, it's biochemical." I use one quite a bit.

Been following Dr Schwartz for over 20 years now. Best help for ocd.

Excellent presentation. Thanks Dr. Scwartz. God bless !!!

Just brought this book today. So excited to begin reading it.

Thank you Dr. Schwartz

Thank you, sir! Very valuable and informative words said here. Perfect for my research. Much Respect !

This is very interesting. I took a lot of notes during this lecture and I can't wait to apply this learning. Thank you for posting this ;)

4:00 - genius point!

THANKS FOR UPLOADING

Really loved this listened to it several times 👍

Working through the book and it's having a strong impact already Just being able to recognize and reduce the power of intrusive rumination is a game changer and will continue to be

tremendous presentation. Fascinating human being. J'adore

Brilliant man!

I wish u could like this hundred times,thanks for the enlightenment

His book is a must read

Needed this, thanks.

This is one of the best videos I've seen. I've twittered it great

An incredible mind and soul!

Amen, Dr. Schwartz!!! Thank you so much for your work!!!

Our brain is passive but our Mind ist active - Love it! :)

Great Presentation!

Thank You Doctor

Great presentation of ideas.

This seems like a great general idea. its saying healing can come by changing the memory. These problems are problems of focusing/memory. One can trigger the memory to , eventually, replace one sticky memory with another. it shows how our immaterial soul is dealing with a material organ called the memory.

Excellent. Thank you.

I am currently reading and studying his book 'BrainLock' I recommend it!

I've had intrusive thoughts my entire adult life, it's destroying me the anxiety is overwhelming. The thoughts I have now really feel real I'm totally scared!

Excellent very insightful, very valuable information based on research and practical application

I tried his method and it works wonders. This is probably the greatest psychiatrist in the world.

This is very nice!

Thank you.

I wish he was my therapist :'(

Resonating..

Very passionate presentation good stuff.

Mom always told me: "mind over matter." I believed her.

BRILLIANT!! To think I’m actually NORMAL and not my thoughts and feelings!

Awesome!

Am sure I read the ocd work book 14 years ago with cherry pedric and Dr shwartz, both Co authors, my therapist worked with me through it, and totally changed my life

So valuable! Thanks for Dr. S and to those who post this info. It would be wonderful to let every grade school student and teacher see this. Grade school for me was a jail, and it seemed to be the chief duty of the teachers to grind the students into dust.

Lecture starts at 2:10

This book really helped me.

Amazing

so good and it works!

Thanks Doc you rock! :)

I don't have obsessive thoughts. But I perform mental compulsive checking when i leave my house (keys, phone, money, keys, phone, money, and so on and so on), and I also count numbers. Does anyone else here have the same symptoms?

It totally makes sense

Im buying his book

Love u doctor ❤️

For me it's hard to focus my attention, my brains drains me in its loop all the time and it's hard to be focused, I struggle all the time to Pe as present as I can but it's really hard work

i bought his book " brain lock "

thank God for the existence of such a Human

100 Amens to this guy and all he’s doing.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

How on earth did people manage to turn a lecture/seminar, for those who suffer from OCD into a philosophy lesson? It's not that complex or complicated. I have OCD and I understand exactly what he's getting at. I think that most people who have OCD would have no trouble understanding this either. Why? Because they have OCD. And that is exactly who this seminar is for.

Impresionante

what about obsessions of not able to do one thing.For Example if I have an obsession that I will not do wrong to show others but after reading about EX/RP I think I should do wrong behaviour to stop the obsession.What about obsessions of perfectionism ,reading ocd,doing somthing in a very hyperfocused manner to do it right!

What are the 4 steps please ? Would love to have this video in french so much 🌈

Genius

No we could agree on that. Because I don't fib.

Read the book its an amazing one! well said, YOU ARE NOT YOUR BRAIN. very insightful, We all haven't been our trueself.

very interesting!

he reminds me of jon kabbot zinn, they have the same ideas.

I'm sure this is interesting for people with OCD or other similar issues, but most people don't have this issue, so I wonder how universal these concepts are. I don't obsess or get addicted, so I can't see how it would apply to people like me. It does kind of make me feel sorry for people whose brains are wired this way, but I'm sure there are compensations in terms of creativity or productivity.

WOW👏

Luke.... use the fours teps.

Is this Schema Therapy?

Neuroplasticity is permanent or not

There is no logical connection connection between recognising forces interact and then leaping to the conclusion that any force is consciously aware of anything, let alone that any intent whatsoever is involved.

jesus christ our brain just is so random we think our thoughts arent just random shit we can control our thoughts tho

Not so much prejudices, as a whole stack if presuppositions, though I guess you might call them 'axioms'.

just a note for me 15:00

God Bless USA

Sir i have severe OCD about parenting and guilt and doubt comes in my mind uncontrollably i have taken medicine and also use 4step process .for some time i became cured but after sometime it again bothers me in more severe form. Why this happens when neuroplasticity had happen pl. Help me

You are a Mind not a brain or body. If you truly understand this ' truly ' understand this you will be free and have a wonderful outlook on reality.
