Remember that time... we had visual snow syndrome?

Visual Disturbances! The fourth installment of "Remember that time..." - the series by two recovered OCD therapists Andy & Ferne (who just so happen to be a couple!) Together we explore our raw & real lived experience of recovering from OCD & anxiety; provide practical evidence-based advice; & offer hope to those on their journey. ........ Today we're discussing our experience of Visual Disturbances, such as Visual Snow Syndrome. We talk about the onset of symptoms, my diagnosis, our compulsions, sensorimotor OCD, & why our attention is so important in recovery. The problem is not the visual snow, the floaters, the trailing images or the derealisation - the problem is your relationship to those symptoms. But, how on earth can we know this when the internet is inundated with information about how 'debilitating' VSS is, and how there is "no cure" to this "devastating neurological condition" - it is no wonder that people feel that there is no way out. Visual snow, in our opinion, is a presentation of sensorimotor OCD (a highly treatable condition). See this article for further information: https://iocdf.org/expert-opinions/whe... We've recovered from visual snow using the sensorimotor ocd model of therapy, you can too.
