OCD and childhood trauma. Does anyone else have a formulation like this one. I. Currently seeing a therapist but it's focused prodominatly on childhood trauma I experienced. (in short. Sexual abuse) I and my therapist believe that thiz trauma has left me with inncurate belief that there is something fundamentally sinful or sordid about my sexuality due to the guilt and shame I took from these experiences, and a lot of the therapy is do used on challenging that belief a recognising I was a victim and a child, not a perperteator.. I believe that this also informs and is the cause for a lot of my harm OCD and pocd symptoms.... My therapist is a trauma therapist however and doesn't know much about OCD, although she says it seems to fit. I guess whata hard Is I don't know where my trauma starts and my OCD finishes and it generally makes the whole thing a lot less straight forward. Like is it even OCD or is it just my trauma has made me into a potentially sick and dangerous and twisted individual (this is where my OCD started I think because I read an article that victims of sexual abuse sometimes go in to abuse) and then I was like... Oh god what if that ends up being me', and the fear never went away until it became an obsession and I at times haven't left he house in fear I'm dangerous and spent hours and hours a day checking every thought and emotion and action for evidence. I guess yeah so.. I don't know what's trauma and whats OCD and where to get those answers and if making a disnction is even useful, if it's common for these to overlap, and how to help it cos treatment for each is very different. Hope that makes sense... Feeling a bit vulnerable now.
