I just did a super high exposure with my therapist and I survived. Holy crap. 😅

Thank you 😊

@OCD33 Do you mind me asking what the exposure was?

@Fruitsbasket Not at all!! Full on lesbian sex scenes… like 7 of them. I mean I saw it all 😭

@OCD33 Omg 😳

@OCD33 Proud of you to survive that. 😳👏

@OCD33 Omgggg yeah definitely proud of you to survive that!!! I wonder if I’m going to have to do that… or is it different for everyone?

@Fruitsbasket I think it just depends on what works for you and what you are triggered by ya know? Like me saying I’m a lesbian doesn’t trigger me as much anymore so that exposure doesn’t do much. We had to ramp it up from kissing to this. My biggest triggers are the arousal thing so I guess this is where it got me 😭😂

@OCD33 I got 😳 just reading that, and it's not even my theme😂 Well done :) I'll have to step up my exposures too!

@washie YOU can do it!! Remember, anxiety can’t stay high forever… it has to come down!! I have waited over a year in ERP to expose myself this hard and I can’t believe how good I feel that i did it.

@OCD33 Okay thank you!!! And keep pushing through ☺️

Well any type of sexual interaction between two females have always been triggering to me so I was able to watch it and not do compulsions and I didn’t end up feeling as bad as I thought I would. My anxiety also went down down the longer I watched.

@OCD33 Have you ever struggled with groinal responses?

@Fruitsbasket Yes!! I think me checking is one of my biggest compulsions right under rumination

@OCD33 Literally sameeee
