Just saw a therapist. She isn’t familiar with POCD but she’s says I don’t have it. She says I have ocd and I have anxiety and sexual abuse trauma. I tried to show her and she still dismissed it.

well she is kinda right and also not... there is only the diagnosis of ocd, pocd is the content of your ocd... hocd tocd and rocd exist but are all the same thing -> ocd so if you get a treatment for ocd you will treat pocd pocd is just a manifestation of a mental illness namely ocd hope this helps☺️

If she is an OCD specialist then she DOES know better than you.

Omg @LBO I have the same issue! My mind will randomly insert terrible phrases or words into podcasts i am listening to or show conversations I watch

If she is an OCD-trained clinician she should know POCD.

Well she says she is. She says stop reading the internet. She says I’m convincing myself I have POCD. I don’t think she believes the thoughts I’m having. I think she thinks it’s not as bad as it is or something. I didn’t tell her the exact thoughts just that I thought I was a pedofile and having horrible disgusting shameful thoughts. I didn’t go into any detail so I’m not sure she realizes or maybe she knows better than me. ?‍♀️

I made an appointment with a different OCD specialist for a second opinion.

Does anyone else have trouble with certain words reminding them of the vile thoughts and makes you think of it again. It’s like my brain is taking words and just making stuff up. Like a song I will make it about the thoughts. Does that make sense? It seems super sick!!!!! I don’t know why I would do that. It’s the last thing I want to think about yet my brain is like hey listen to these lyrics now put the word child or something in it and make it gross. Wth!!!!

Oh thank goodness it isn’t only me!!!!
