What if the thought doesn't bother you? What if

your body feels like it wants to do the thought? OK, let's break this down. This is all very common for OCD. Yes, I've had a lot of instances where my body wanted to do the intrusive thought. That's just normal for OCD. That's just how OCD works. You don't have to worry about that. --------- Also, you don't have to worry about the fact that the thought did not bother you. In fact, you WANT to get to a place with the thoughts don't bother you anymore, no matter how terrible they are . Remember the analogy of the tree planted by the river. The leaves from the tree fall off and float down the river. You can NOTICE the leaves, but you don't try to stop them from falling. You don't try to pick them up and put them back on the tree. You just ALLOW them to fall and then float away. These are like the intrusive thoughts. It doesn't matter how ugly or bad or terrible they are. You need to ALLOW them to be in your head. Don't try to fight them off. And don't feel bad that they are there. They don't mean anything! You don't have to have any emotional response of disgust toward thoughts. If you require yourself to have an emotional response to the thoughts (thinking they are disgusting or terrible or whatever), you are actually following a compulsion. This compulsion says this: "You are required to feel bad about the thoughts in order to prevent some thing happening or some bad thing from being true." This compulsion is a lie. Remember, the compulsion only feeds the OCD cycle ! The only way to break this is to just not care if the thoughts are in your head or not. You need to just allow them to play like bad music in the background, while you go out and live your life exactly the way you want to. In other words, You actually want to get to a point in your life where you just DO NOT CARE about the thoughts at all. You don't need to have an emotional response to them, because they truly don't matter. ----------- So, to summarize, you need to do two things: 1.) Practice allowing the terrible thoughts (and practice not caring that they are there) 2.) Recognize that the body sometimes wants to do the thoughts (and makes little movements or whatever it does), and that's all normal for OCD -------- Everything is okay!! You are all okay!!! This is just normal stuff that OCD throws at us.
