I hope this isn’t triggering but, the thing I don’t understand about ERP is why it’s a good idea to agree with your thoughts? For example, if I have an intrusive thought or false memory that I killed someone I don’t see how it is healthy for me to genuinely convince myself that I might have actually done that it seems bizarre

In ERP Why It’s Good To Agree With Your Thoughts?

False Memory OCD

"Pure" OCD

Even suggesting maybe maybe not just seems bizarre to me. Like how can you casually think you might or might not be a murderer??

It’s teaching your brain to not fear that . You’re essentially tricking your brain. Fear is what drives ocd.
