Hyper focusing on bodily sensations
Can anyone give advice on good erp practice for fear of boldly sensations? I hyper focus on my pelvic floor and it gives me anxiety.

Omg me too all the time I feel like I think about mine every few minutes at times and on repeat it's like once I developed the habit of thinking about it I can't stop now. I was told by a family member that bullies me that all movement is a sign of being turned on and this traumatized me and they said it's moving at what I'm looking at because "it likes it". I had never believed my downstairs moved at things before this and I still don't. I also know I don't like the way it feels and it has never meant that I was feeling that way to me.

Ugh I’m sorry you are dealing with this issue too. Its very frightening. I want to master this somehow. I hate hyper focusing. I don’t know how to stop obsessing over this which is why I want to implement erp. If I figure this out I will repost to share the knowledge.

Hyperawareness of My Body
Hey there everyone, first I would like to say I am very grateful for every single one of you on this platform and it feels so much better knowing that I can be heard. I’ve been hyperaware of my swallowing for 1-2 month. I feel like I have so much saliva in my mouth and I have to swallow and swallow. I feel the urge to swallow even I don’t NOTHING in my mouth, so I just swallow air. This has been really overwhelming and I feel like I can be so easily latched to other body part of my part. For example, I was conscious about my blinking and breathing for a few days, and now I get so anxious when I heard a weird sound my ears make after each sentence I speak. Is this somatic ocd or health concern ocd? I am so helpless and having a hard time to shift my attention. Does anyone have any suggestions or just words of encouragement would really help me at this moment. I REALLY appreciate your help. 💗🙏 Thank you !

Wow
more advice for sexual/pocd sufferers I read somewhere that if you hyperfocus too much on your body's reactions to intrusive thoughts, you're unwillingly just making it intensify the sensations. Your body, after enduring severe anxiety and stress from sexual obsessions, will now just react to anything sexual that comes into your mind, whether forced or randomly. It can happen in any way. OCD makes anything possible, and is driven by fear. Knowing this I realized, it doesnt matter at this point, and to let it happen. And you guys should too. Remember what your real values and desires are. It can feel as real as it gets, but it is still not you.

crisis! Help!
I decided to work ERP harder than before in everything, and to try to separate ocd from myself. However, this morning when I was talking to my sister, I felt that some of her breathing caused my groin and some arousel, and if I didn't consciously analyze it... I honestly feel really bad, because I can't connect it with ocd but with me and it makes me very nervous and I get angry... do you have any advice? experience? what's wrong with me now?
