Defusion is a way to get distance between our thoughts and behaviors. Here are some ways to do it: -Imagine your OCD thought with a silly voice or sing it outloud -Imagine your OCD thought on a movie screen, playing over and over again and moving yourself to the back of the theater -Imagine your OCD thought as a color, shape, or a character- name it! Sometimes funny names can give you space. :) Hope that helps!
my therapist told me to try this, i can’t seem to visualize it though! i’ll try harder! thank you
Have you tried drawing vs. imagining?

Does it help to change the narrative of the thought into something funny?
That may neutralize the thought. Humor is a fun coping skill and can also be a way to avoid discomfort. Try sitting more with discomfort.
I named mine Ralph like reck it Ralph haha
Thanks I’ll have to try this.
Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.
