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.

ZOCD, right way to react?
I have ZOCD, and have intrusive thoughts and groinals. I've been really bad at reacting to them, and would avoid my cat. But today I got a groinal and I just let it happen, usually I'd shake my head and obsess over them. then he jumped up, sat on my lap and I stroked him, didn't push him away, didn't react. Still felt uncomfortable, felt horrible but the response became less strong. Is this the right way to react to a groinal? To just let it be instead of strengthening the pattern to react when it happens? I hate groinals, I desperately do, I hate the idea my brain has that I'm a danger to my cat and I can't go near him, but I know that if I react constantly to the groinals and yell and shake my head and move him as far away as can, it'll only strengthen them. I'm crying, I'm worried this wasn't the right thing to do.
