OCD-related intrusive thoughts can feel disturbing, shameful, and completely unspeakable. It's why many people suffering from OCD can feel terrified to share their thoughts with anyone, even a therapist trying to help them.
But as Tracie Ibrahim explains in this video, if you're seeing an OCD-specialty therapist, they've heard all kinds of intrusive thoughts before and interpret them very differently than you might expect. Tracie walks through real examples of taboo OCD thoughts and breaks down what trained ERP therapists actually hear, why these thoughts happen, and why they say nothing about who you are.
