Sit with distress
Sit with the distress ?
I know. I’ve been doing that. Ive been in ERP for a little while now. Still hard tho you know what I mean. When a sexual organ gets aroused it makes you think you actually like it, but I know I have to sit with that uncertainty, even when it seems really realistic.
@Dodgerblue2003 No sorry I mean what did you mean by it now to do it have you felt it be better though slowly as you have been coping with the ERP
@Lewis2001 Hey it says you blocked me?
@Anonymous12876 I have not blocked you that is strange
Well the other guy told me to sit with distress in response to what I said originally which I then responded to with my second comment, but yeah in ERP you expose yourself to triggers so your anxiety levels raise and then you sit with those feelings, emotions, and thoughts while not engaging in compulsions in an effort to train your brain to not respond to the thoughts
I can't anymore.. Erp is very traumatic for me. It's about a sexual topic, and I come out with those scenes in my head, as well as photos of that person where their face makes me think of sexual grimaces. Every time, but every time during practice, I get detailed scenes and groinal. To me it looks like real sexual excitement, and I don't know exactly how to be immune to something that is sex in itself! I don't believe it's part of ocd at all..because it won't come off me and I can't believe it's not me
hi does anyone ever get a random grounal response then feel aroused but you don’t want to be like before i had the thought i was feeling a little aroused then i had a random thought and it had the ground response and i felt aroused i don’t understand.
18+ Don’t view if under 18 People say ocd arousal isn’t actual arousal feeling but it’s groinal response but mine feels like actual arousal is this normal?
