My best advice: create warmth around your tummy. It helps me relax because of all the anxiety going on in my lower body. Just like when I’m feeling really hurt, I’ll create warmth for my heart by placing a hand over it and breathing deeply. Whether it’s with a blanket, a heating pad, or just placing your hand over your tummy. Take deep breaths and drink water. This usually helps me relax. I hope it works for you, too
Honestly, my advice is to just sit with them. It sucks, but I would just let them be there and carry on with my day and ignore then I had a lot of one responses so I understand this a lot.
Hi there! The best thing to do is sit with it. A therapist who specializes in OCD that I follow on social media once said that our bodies react to what is sexually relevant, not to what we actually value or want. Another post I saw said that our responses to these things don’t check in with our values system first. Live your life according to your morals and values and let the sensation be there the best that you can.
what are groinal responses
please help every time i get the groinal response i go back to whatever i was looking at, at look at it again then look away. i repeat this over and over until i can successfully do this without getting the groinal response. i’ve also noticed when i get the groinal response i experience a shortness of breath. it makes me feel like i enjoy when i really hate it. i just want to make this go away but i have no idea how to do that. i also procrastinate and can’t do what i want to do until the compulsion i mentioned above is just right.
I have reached a point where I can’t see any family member without a groinal response. I know I’m not supposed to give it any investigation but it’s to the point where it’s all consuming. Any tips on ‘un’feeling?
