Questions & Answers

What are the four steps discussed in the class for overcoming obsessive compulsive disorder?

The four steps are: Relabel, Reattribute, Refocus, and Revalue. Relabel means admitting you messed up instead of making excuses. Reattribute means recognizing you're not a bad person, just that the bad side got the better of you. Refocus means trying to ensure you won't do it again. Revalue means not wanting to be the person who falls into that trap and rejecting that kind of life.

How do these four steps relate to the Rambam's teachings?

These same four steps are the same steps that the Rambam says are used to perform teshuvah, which is repentance.

What is the broader application of these four steps?

These steps can be used when you want to try to get anything negative out of your life, not just for treating OCD.
