words in my head like triggers..
even a word, or if I read a word that describes an intimate organ is a trigger for my thoughts (images), it even gives me groin..how many more of thisπ!?!?

Don't give power to the thoughts/images just let them float away they dont mean anything gronial responses are involuntary. ππ€
@@sophiaevidal I know, but it's not easy because I have a tendency to imagine it over and over again because it seems in that second that it really attracts me.. the hardest part for me is to "let go", and the more I want it, the more it gives me all of this..
@Anonimus ME π¦ Ok well maybe you are ruminating try to refocus on something else enjoyable
@@sophiaevidal I usually do that, but this haunts me...thank you..as always really! It seems to me that you have made a lot of progress, and you say that you had similar things! What helped you the most?
@Anonimus ME π¦ My therapist is the one that mostly has helped. Also sitting with the uncertainty which I know is hard but it helps.
@@sophiaevidal I know these thoughts haunt I still have thoughts that haunt me everyday but try to use rp responses when you get those thoughts.
@@sophiaevidal I'm trying, but it's going very slowly with me, as if for some reason I won't let it go.. and when I feel better, as soon as it cuts again, it quickly brings me back... I've been fighting for a long time, but this time I'm really stuck..
@Anonimus ME π¦ Yea I get I still feel stuck with harm ocd thoughts but the thing is you have to continue to do erp in therapy and outside as well to see that change and process.
@@sophiaevidal I'm not very disciplined, but I'm certainly not giving up, somehow I'll find the courage to at least try to work continuously.. I'm very glad that you're succeeding.. that gives me hopeβ€οΈ
@Anonimus ME π¦ That is okay at times I dont feel very disciplined either I still compulse many times out of the day. I know it is hard but you can do hard things erp is hard but worth it.
@@sophiaevidal I will believe you..ππ«
@Anonimus ME π¦ ππ. Try to consider changing your therapist if you are not seeing any progress. I had to change my therapist in the beginning months and now that I found my therapist it has allowed me to progress so much.
@@sophiaevidal I changed it many times, but it's the same. The only thing I'm interested in: Do you go to a psychiatrist or a psychologist? I always went to a psychiatrist (I used to believe him), but I definitely don't see any progress..
Yes I see a psychiatrist it has helped as well. But I know that it seems tiring to keep changing therapists but I have gone through that process as well and it took me many changes of therapist to find the one I am with now.
@@sophiaevidal yes, it's definitely like that...somehow everyone is expert but weakly interested...or at least that's how it seems to me. Of course, I don't practice with her, but she talks to me, compares, gives some guidelines, but I don't have contact with her outside the surgery, and she rarely has free appointments... so I thought about a psychologist... I'm not sure what kind of therapist I need to watch...
@Anonimus ME π¦ Well a psychiatrist or psychologist is a good choice. In therapist you can always look at the nocd directory and look
@@sophiaevidal but the difference is between a psychologist and a psychiatrist, so that's the only thing I'm not sure about. Until now, I have had psychiatrists, but the focus is not on therapy, but on talking and medication.
@Anonimus ME π¦ Yes but medication can have help. Some psychiatrist though do help like mine i feel comfortable to talk to about general things
@@sophiaevidal I take medicine, but not the full dose, partly it helps, yes.
does it happen to you that you suddenly have the urge to look at the trigger on purpose (for me it makes me look at pictures and look for facial expressions that associate me with sex) people, pictures, something...? Always when I do it, it's like I deliberately imagine something sexual about it, and if there's no reaction, I imagine it until I get it? ??? What am I doing anymore?
I try not to pay attention to my thoughts. I realized that when a thought pops up for me (sex scene), I go back to it a couple of times to figure out what I am I also felt whether, and I simply decided to let them go..however, I am worried about that feeling of sensation in my groin at those scenes in my head, I am afraid of the fact that I can feel something while I am imagining it and that it is spinning non-stop in my mind! l imagine Just A part and it's constant for some days (like a part of a face, a look or something) the whole scene goes to that I spontaneously imagine and I have the feeling that only that part "turns me on" at the beginning, then the rest... Have you had similar experiences and how to overcome? thank you (edited)
Can anyone help me to stop groinal hyperawareness when exposing myself to triggering images?? Every time I look at them I get groinal hyperawareness and itβs such a pain that every time I look I can feel literally everything down thereπ
