Looking for some good SOOCD planned exposure exercise ideas. Feel free to share your "favorites"... just ones that have been beneficial to your treatment. Need to try some new ones because the old ones arent having much effect on anything anymore.

I too need good exposures.

Go to a public pool, listen to a podcast about homosexuality, watch a YouTube video of someone’s experience “coming out”, etc

Watch Glee, The Prom, Atypical, etc--theyre all on netflix! If youre a woman with HOCD, orange is the new black would be a pretty intense exposure. Maybe even go to a gay-specific town (if you have HOCD and not the SO-OCD where you are afraid of being straight). Jon listed some very good ones as well :).

I am sorry what is orange is the new black?

@lolocd A show that openly displays lesbian relationships (romantic & sexual) in prison. Do NOT watch it unless you are ready for some intense exposures, otherwise it could cause you to take steps back in your progress

@alexisrae1999 I am scared 🥺

@lolocd I wouldn't recommend watching it then, I'm sorry if I triggered ya! :( maybe start with The Prom, its actually super funny

@alexisrae1999 Okay so I looked up for this show orange is the new black on YouTube. The trailer wasn't as triggering as the video of real life partners of the cast. I could only watch half the video. I am not too anxious but I just couldn't watch. :(

@lolocd I'd probably start with trying to get through the trailer first before actually watching anything. I've watched the show to its entirety and oof 🤣 it is extremely triggering. I might watch it again as another exposure
