This document discusses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). It defines obsessions and compulsions, describes common types and themes, and explains cognitive mechanisms in OCD like thought-action fusion. The classical CBT model is outlined, including cognitive conceptualization to challenge obsessive thoughts, creation of a fear hierarchy, and exposure and response prevention exercises. Assessment of a patient's OCD is discussed to identify obsessions, emotions, compulsions, avoidance, family involvement, and impact on functioning to effectively guide CBT treatment.
Trauma and stressor-related disorders are a group of emotional and behavioral problems that may result from childhood traumatic and stressful experiences. These traumatic and stressful experiences can include exposure to physical or emotional violence or pain, including abuse, neglect or family conflict.
Cognitive distortions are simply ways that Impostor Syndrome convinces us to believe things that aren’t really true.
These are inaccurate thought patterns that reinforce our negative self perception and keep us feeling bad about ourselves

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

3. Definition of an Obsession
An obsession is an unwanted intrusive thought, doubt, image or urge
that repeatedly enters a person’s mind.
4. Obsessions are Universal
• Intrusive thoughts, doubts or images are almost universal in the general
population and their content is indistinguishable from that of clinical
obsessions.
• The difference between a normal intrusive thought and an obsessional
thought lies both in the meaning that individuals with OCD attach to the
occurrence or content of the intrusions and in their response to the thought
or image.
5. Definition of an Obsession
Obsessions are distressing and ego-dystonic but are acknowledged as
originating in the person’s mind and as being unreasonable or excessive.
A minority are regarded as overvalued ideas and, rarely, delusions.
7. Definition of a Compulsion
• An irresistible persistent impulse to perform an act.
• The state of being forced to do something
8. Compulsions
• Can be overt “door checking”, or covert “mentally repeating a phrase”.
• Highly reinforcing.
• May function as a means of avoiding discomfort, as in obsessional slowness
• Terminates when feeling comfortable not when the objective target has been
achieved, e.g., hand cleaning.
• Mainly safety seeking behaviour, e.g., checking for AIDs, repetitive
questioning.
9.
10. The OCD Vicious Circle
• The content of obsessions, compulsions and avoidance behaviour in OCD
are closely related.
• When avoidance is high compulsions are less, e.g., avoiding hand shaking.
• An ever reinforcing cycle. Behaviour is the strongest reinforcer.
20. Most common Compulsions
• Checking (e.g. gas taps; reassurance-seeking)
• Cleaning/washing
• Repeating actions
• Mental compulsions (e.g. special words or prayers repeated in a set manner)
• Ordering, symmetry or exactness
• Hoarding
22. Thought Action Fusion
• An important cognitive process in OCD is the way thoughts or images
become fused with reality. This process is called ‘thought–action fusion’ or
‘magical thinking’
• A related process is ‘moral thought–action fusion’, which is the belief that
thinking about a bad action is morally equivalent to doing it.
• There is also ‘thought–object fusion’, which is a belief that objects can
become contaminated by ‘catching’ memories or other people’s experiences
25. Responsibility
• An overinflated sense of responsibility for harm or its prevention.
• Patients with obsessions appraisal of the harm is usually exaggerated and
leads to severe anxiety.
• Individuals with OCD believe they can and should prevent harm from
occurring, which leads to compulsions and avoidance behaviours.
26. Non-specific Cognitive Biases
• Belief in being more vulnerable to danger
• Intolerance of uncertainty, ambiguity and change
• The need for control
• Excessively narrow focusing of attention to monitor for potential threats
• Excessive attentional bias on monitoring intrusive thoughts, images or urges
• Reduced attention to real events
33. A List of Obsessions
• Repeating Wedo
• Counting prayers
• مره كذا الموز أكل بعد ايدي أغسل
• I can’t touch kids لزجه كائنات
• Drink in a separate cup, bottle and never after anyone. I have to be the first
to eat or drink.
• Fold everything into a perfect square بسكوت ورقة لو حتي
34. A List of Obsessions
• Take medicine in order from left to right.
• All furniture and carpets have to be parallel or perpendicular.
• Check my phone regularly after each call and every now and then
• Open jars, bottles from the side not the top.
• Clean tooth paste and soap.
• Use odd numbers in everything 3
رز معالق

5
سلطه معالق
35. A List of Obsessions
• Wash my glasses after getting back home.
• Wash and smell my hands regularly, specially after touching anything معايا و
طول علي ديتول
• Climb stairs with my right foot first
• Can’t eat food people prepared by hands.
• Re-arrange everything in order مقلوب يبقي مينفعش األسنان معجون
• Use any pen while the cap is on the left side
36. A List of Obsessions
• Brush my hair from left to right.
• Put brush on comb.
• Open candy, chocolate bars on the right side االسم قبل تتفتح
• Hang the towel on the right side, left higher than right, dark side out.
• If anything changes its place it is the end of the world.
• Whenever I get back home, my clothes has to go into the laundry basket.
37. A List of Obsessions
• Everything must be perfect.
• Taking control if I go out.
• Hate stepping on my shoes البساها مش لو جزمتي علي يدوس حد أي
• Never change my place on the couch
• Have to clean the W.C after anyone, and before using it. األول أدخل الزم
39. Steps of Therapy
• List of Obsessions (nothing should be left out).
• Help the patient create a hierarchy
• Teach the patient the concept of CBT and how OCD operates.
• Tackle thoughts and behaviour simultaneously
• Exposure and Response prevention
40. Working on Obsessive Thoughts
Initially it involves having sufferers develop a healthy and informed
understanding of how the mechanisms of OCD operate.
Help the patient understand ideas of cognitive fusion (and even test it), over
estimation of danger and heightened responsibility.
(Cognitive Conceptualization)
41. Working on Obsessive Thoughts
The main target is to make the patient that he/she needs to live with doubt.
The Target is to tolerate uncertainty, not to eliminate it.
42. Working on Obsessive Thoughts
Teaching the patient to constantly re-examine the logic of the Automatic
thoughts.
Keep asking WHY?
“It is not me, it is my Obsession”
43. Working on Obsessive Thoughts
Interpretation of obsessional meaning, degree of danger (evidence) and
possible alternatives.
Evidence (Facts), not Interpretations or doubt (what ifs?)
44. Working on Obsessive Thoughts
• Work on erroneous beliefs, e.g. safety and contamination.
• Teach the patient to acknowledge & reframe their obsessive behaviour.
• “I washed my hands because I could not tolerate the anxiety, not because
there was a real chance of contracting AIDS.
45. Working on Obsessive Thoughts
• Why isn’t medicine enough?!!!
• Fighting an occupational force that will fight back.
• Changing structure and habits.
46. Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
• The goal of ERP is straightforward – to expose one’s self to the feared
thought or situation, without doing any compulsive or avoidant
responses.
• Explain the reinforcing nature of compulsions.
• Start with the least anxiety provoking obsession and move up the ladder.
• The main concept is de-learning, i.e. habituation, extinction, desensitization.
47. Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
• Exposure can happen during sessions (real and imaginary).
• Point out the compulsions & avoidance behaviour that happens in session.
• Learning to live with the “anxiety”, i.e. tolerating the discomfort.
• Response prevention can be partial (decrease the number of compulsions).
• Delaying response is a step on the way.
• Distraction can be used to delay or prevent response.
• Involve family when possible.
50. Assessment
