Anyone have success defeating OCD without medication?

[agirl]

I don't want to go back on meds, is there anything else I can try other than standard therapy?

OCD treatment without meds

Hi,

I can suggest meditation as a technique. I have myself cured my OCD to a large extent through almost 8 weeks of meditation (about 40 mins daily). Here is one article that talks about meditation as a technique:

psychotherapy has helped me a great deal

my therapist has taught me to find the root of obsessions and desensitize them

compulsions are not done to counter obsessions, but the anxiety that is associated with them, so if you can make the root of your obsessions un-anxiety-inducing, your ocd will most likely improve
