From the third year of high school, I often fall into the mire of mental obsessive-compulsive disorder, can not extricate themselves, to now, has been nearly 20 years. These years have accumulated a lot of experience in confronting this malady, sharing one or two.
The definition of thinking compulsion: For a specific problem, into the endless thinking, unable to extricate themselves.
The personality traits of a compulsive thinker: a perfectionist, a person of special mind.
Why do thought-forcing people constantly think:
When you think of a solution, you'll find that the solution is not perfect. The simplest example: when you think of a solution, you think: Will I remember this plan and forget what to do? Then you'll think about how you can remember the plan you just thought of. Yes, mental coercion is a morbid condition.
Or, when you think of a solution, you are constantly pursuing the details of the solution, and you are stuck in endless mental compulsion.
Solutions to obsessive-compulsive thinking: Many scholars, including a famous Japanese scholar, have advocated the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder by not thinking about these things as meaningless, but "doing the right thing", that is, doing the right thing.
But not from the thinking of forced personality reasons to analyze, find solutions. In fact, as long as the mind forcing people to recognize: the world is not perfect, or, in fact, there is no perfect solution, so it is easy to try to come up with a foolproof, there is no perfect solution.
At the same time, if the mind is forced to understand: Originally my mind is thin, once trapped in the mind, the details of the thought is insignificant and meaningless, so the thinking should be extensive, do not think of some too little detail or will not change the outcome of the secondary factors. Grasping large and small, consider the main factors, the secondary factors ignored, do not go too much consideration of secondary factors, so that, will not go on thinking about the meaningless details and not affect the conclusions of the secondary factors.
