I did msc psychology and I was triggered at some points too. Let it wash over you even though it’s uncomfortable as far as you can - you might even enjoy developmental it’s interesting stuff the more you do it ?

I'm a psych major and took dev psych last year. Before I realized I was suffering from intrusive thoughts and they were mostly mild, i was still uncomfortable learning some of the information (mostly when we covered Freud's ideas about children. I hate Freud. He had interesting ideas that lead to a lot of good ideas from others, but a lot of his ideas are just straight up wack.) it's going to be hard, but think of it as an exposure. When anxious in class, do some breathing tricks, some grounding tricks, focus on writing the notes, etc. I know it sucks and I'm so sorry. But I know exactly how you feel, and since I'm a psych major I still get a little triggered any time we talk about Freud, but it has gotten SO much better. Even when I talked to my therapist at the counseling center and told her what triggered me, she said that most people don't believe Freud's weird ideas. Im always here if you want to talk x

I agree on Freud. He would accuse patients of projecting yet it is exactly what he did with his bullshit sexual obsession - plus he’s the reason we have sayings like the wish is father to the fear. Fucking shyte all of it - Claire weekes in the 50’s called bullshit on it and now her ideas laid the ground work for CBT. The cornerstone of psychological treatment. Just like physics fitness - we can look back to understand how you got overweight, but shifting the weight is planned exercise, busting a sweat and being uncomfortable while the body is resculpted to accommodate your new exercise filled lifestyle. Brain is the same. Resculpt it with new programming and you become a new person in many ways. Or at least a lean and mean version of yourself psychologically. Freud was a fucking fraud and I believe it so strongly he should not be referenced in education anymore. Watch a dangerous method with fassbender. Freud and his bumchum Jung were the biggest quacks going. I’ve got some time for Piaget

So I was on a hat chat gpt and it said that people who are non-offenders experience distress and anxiety and disgust and depression and they feel ashamed of being a non-offender like WHAT like that's honestly terrifying and I'm so scared because that's how I've been feeling like when I'm out I get anxiety too especially when I see a younger person I always been attracted to MEN my whole life can people turn into monsters and I don't even care if they have problems if there attracted to kids then there sick in the head like don't care like this has been sharing me soo much and the worst part about it is that they said some are in denial or suppress their attractions I'm so done...... I can not do this this is too much I would rather be gone from this earth than find out that I might be one like you have to be kidding me if you're attracted to young people and desire that you're sick and dead to me you're a monster I don't care like its disgusting. for this eole some people are suffering from POCD like me are scared to think about that and I'm terrified.

i don’t think i can, i can’t stomach the possibility of these things, or maybe i can (because they might be true and deep down i know that) and just don’t want to and want to pretend it isn’t there. i can’t do ERP, i just want to pretend it isnt there and won’t happen to clarify, i know i have to do ERP, i know it’s necessary; i don’t need to be told this, this is just how i am feeling currently

my therapist suggested that some of my less bad rocd intrusive thoughts are actually mine, and not intrusive. She ended up taking it back when she saw the alarm on my face and saw how panicked I got. I feel really freaking anxious. We were only talking about it because I mentioned a lot of doubt surrounding those less bad ones, but it only filled me with more doubt. I don’t want those thoughts to be mine. I really don’t. I feel scared and so discouraged after this session. I feel scared about the worst thoughts, what if those aren’t intrusive. I feel so much doubt.
