These are designed to accompany the Skills for Life Online Programme. They are also suitable for clients who have attended our intensive programme or those who have undergone (or are currently undergoing) treatment with the OCDCentre.

We realise that people with OCD respond very well to aural stimuli. These MP3 files are designed to reinforce rational statements specific to particular types of OCD. In the same way that irrational statements are learnt by subconscious repetition and reinforcement, it is the same with rational statements. By listening to the rational statements consistently you will start to adapt your unhelpful beliefs to ones that are more helpful to you. Beliefs that help you achieve your goals in life, rather than work against you.

Our rational statements form a comprehensive revision plan and we encourage daily use in the first two weeks and regular use thereafter to prevent relapse. 

Regular use can reduce the need for reassurance from family members and reminds the clients they are in control of their actions.

There are two rational statements MP3 products:

1. Rational statements - responsibility issues: this is designed for clients who worry about harming others or are over concerned about the welfare of other people (including family and friends)
   
   
2. Rational statements - contamination issues: this is designed for clients who worry about being contaminated by anything, e.g. people, dirt, disease, evil etc. It is also useful for people who worry about contaminating others.
