One of my favorite quotes regarding OCD - “What we resist persists” - sometimes It helps me to accept (not agree with) my intrusive thoughts and actually use some humor towards them.

One thing that helps me is identifying the thought which allows me to separate from it - “I am having a thought of [blank] right now” “oh look the thought of [blank] is back again.” The more we engage in these thoughts it seems it will continue. Sometimes identifying these thoughts and saying “my brain is very creative at making scary intrusive thoughts”….The OCD podcast with Jon Hershfield is informative and there is one with Aaron Harvey on there who discusses his story regarding intrusive thoughts

Can you give examples? I have no idea how to do this with Harm OCD

Thank you
