There are people that experience OCD that does go away, but it's not going away on its own. That person is using exposure and response prevention for OCD that has faded away. It is because you have chosen not to give that thought any more attention. Exposure and response prevention techniques we all do erp. When somebody without OCD has a worry, they choose to accept the uncertainty, which is the exposure, and no longer worry about it, which is response prevention. The reason why I push people to learn exposure and response prevention is because if you're not learning it thoroughly, these themes are probably going to continue to come back and eventually get worse. Once you know how to respond differently, you can keep these themes from coming back. It's going to fade away.
