I’m currently seeing a therapist and ERP is going okay however I haven’t told her about my worst ocd topic because I feel too scared to tell her. I haven’t told anyone before because I’m scared it will make me seem like an evil person and I know that’s just giving the fear power but how do I tell someone the most disturbing thought in my head?

8 months ago I did it. I told my therapist my worst OCD... And yes I was really scared but also and desperate so I wanted to find an answer even if I wouldn't like it... Thankfully it was my OCD but, I asked her, if I had told you about this earlier it would be easier for me to overcome it? And she answered yes... By not telling her you just let it grow inside you... If you tell her now you will overcome it easier than telling it in the future...

Any therapist who is worth working with will know that it’s your thoughts and not you as a whole person. But yeah it can be so hard to deal with. My latest bout of oc is one that it hard to talk about but thankfully I am working with a therapist who I have seen on and off for 15 years. I know I am lucky in that way.

I to had disturbing thoughts that I was afraid to tell my therapist cause of what she might think. I was worried for no reason and we tackled it together.

I told my therapist I was afraid that I molested a child. OCD therapists are trained and used to hearing about the most socially taboo subjects. This is what OCD uses to terrify is, our worst fears and what would make us feel most isolated. When there was a lot about child abuse on the news there were more people with that kind of OCD theme. Remember your OCD is telling you what you fear, not what you are.
