Can OCD center itself around people who are trying to help you get rid of it. My harm OCD has been a lot more centered around my therapist and I wonder if it’s because she’s trying to help me get rid of it. But it makes me not want to go there again because I am in a room alone with her and I’m terrified I’ll actually do something. I know it’s not real but it feels so real 😭

Harm OCD

Your ocd is challenged right now. And they don’t like that you are standing up to it, so it’s gonna try to do whatever it can to get you to not recover. Avoiding is a compulsion. Maybe talk to your therapist about it. I’m sure that it’s noting she hasn’t heard before!
