Stop looking for it, accept that it’s there and don’t think about it - don’t ruminate on it - or anything. I had this, but it does go away. Once you accept that hey - that’s a thing apparently. It just disappears. But hyper focusing only makes you feel it more you know? You think you only notice it because it happened then you thought about it, but you thought about it THEN it happened. It’s like saying don’t think of a pink elephant. Stop thinking about pink elephants... we’ll you did and you are so there lolol it gets easier

No need to go to the doctor , let them happen without responding to them!! They can’t harm you and are no objective problem unless you attach some meaning to them. You’ve had muscle spasms before right ? Or pins and needles ? If you don’t obsess over these sensations then why obsess over groinal ones. Groinal sensations are unconscious ones that can be triggered by practically anything , but you should accept that you don’t know what’s causing them to have relief!

I have to say groinal respones are the absolute worst. I get it. But ignoring them and just let it be there is the best advice for sure.

Can anyone help me to stop groinal hyperawareness when exposing myself to triggering images?? Every time I look at them I get groinal hyperawareness and it’s such a pain that every time I look I can feel literally everything down there😔

TW - Groinal Responses 18+ Also tmi As of the last week or two, I have no idea why or how, but the groinal responses have gotten so, so much worse... Today was so bad... And I'm still having a very hard time. Like, I don't even know if I want to say how bad it really is. It's beyond just obsessing about it; I have to try to distract myself so something doesn't actually happen from the groinal response (I'm intentionally being vague bc I don't want to say much about the situation). I'm seriously struggling... and I don't know what to do or how it can change... This is tmi too, but years ago I had another issue regarding groinal responses. And even just the thought of it made my body do something I would have thought couldn't have happened just from thinking and worrying about it happening [the thing my body did back then isn't as distressing as I'm worried about my body doing now] (and yes, I'm intentionally being vague again) My mind and body are very against me right now...
