The 'Trigger Point' Framework and Self-Talk
This page summarizes a community-reported personal experience. It is not medical evidence or professional advice.
A community member shared a personal framework treating urges as self-deception to be countered with self-talk and repeated reading of recovery material, closing with ‘knowing is not doing.’ The self-talk approach resembles elements of cognitive restructuring, but as community practice it has no direct research support for PPU. The ‘knowing is not doing’ line captures a widely echoed insight.

Uncertainties
