Overview
“What if my mother dies tonight?” - A detailed and topical discussion
of the nature and content of intrusive thoughts, focusing on those with
catastrophic, violent and sexual content. “I might be a pedophile because I
have those thoughts” – comments on how intrusive thoughts change to reflect
society’s current fears. “I couldn’t possibly let myself think that – it’s too
dangerous” – finishing with discussion of treatment and Exposure and Response
Prevention especially.
Everyone has intrusive thoughts.
OCD people have lots and worry about them.
These intrusive thoughts create distress, guilt and shame. Treatment is possible but requires exposure
to the thoughts, refusal to perform compulsions and willingness to face anxiety
and tolerate doubt and uncertainty.
