Reposting this here cuz it honestly belongs here more, but I don’t want to copy paste all of it again (replies are me talking more about silly therapy strategies and my specific intrusive thoughts)
I’ve always had sexual intrusive thoughts and when I went to therapy my therapist told me to imagine those thoughts and images as a physical thing, and then have Edward Elric from FMA beat them up and kick them away Team Rocket style. And it works

this was really really helpful. a lot of things have happened to me bc i get groinal sensations along with my sexual intrusive thoughts so i thought i really just liked them and that all pervs were disgusted with themselves but did things anyway so i should just go along with the thoughts bc i couldnt make them stop anyway

(like masturbating to make the feeling go away and feeling like i was doing it to the thoughts not to make them go away) its so scary when the compulsion coincide with the thoughts like that and kind of “confirm” them
