How to overcome intrusive thoughts - Intrusive thoughts about sexuality

[@Dub_97]

You explained it so well. For someone whose been going through this for 3 months now it sure does feel like forever.. constant intrusive homosexual thoughts/images/ statements .. causes a lot of emotional distress, confusion, lost. You name it, I hate this to the core! After 2 months of no job because of this, I’m finally trying to get back out there and get my financial situation right again, once thats all situated. I’d love to do 1 on 1 sessions so I can recover the right way. Thanks.

Do you have also physical sensations?? I feel constant arousal through the same sex :(

Thank you for this video Matt, Ive been battling with this type of OCD for two years now, and I used to go to therapy for it and my therapist didn’t really know how to work with clients with OCD, but I stumbled upon your KZbin channel about 6 months ago, and I feel like you’ve given me the Keys to gain control of my life again, god bless you Matt.

Super helpful. Ego-dystonic is a word that resonates with my case the most ..

[@theflokis2786]

This is exactly what I’m going through now. I’m a straight guy I have never been attracted to same sex. Yes I have social anxiety, I can’t look people in the eyes. When I’m walking down the road, either I’m always on my phone or I don’t look at anyone at all. OCD came in when people approach me at the gym, they look into eyes and I can’t help it, I feel submissive to them. Yes I have the OCD thoughts but I don’t actually see it happening in real it’s only thoughts in my mind and I can’t get it out.

I was really hoping you would make one about this topic after the harm thoughts video. Thank you so much.

[@ridgegarrett3236]

Thank you, I have been struggling with this, and I just felt so lost. But you explained it perfectly

[@mattcodde.restoredminds]

Glad it helped!

[@roccofelder1551]

What do i do when i go outside i have sexual intrusive thoughts

[@candaceyoung3468]

What is the unlined problem

[@leozelt2156]

Can it be arousing but also ego dystonic ? Like have you heard of arousal non concordance

[@sofiafantin5280]

But what if I have PHYSICAL SENSATIONS??? More than just thoughts

[@MasterNinjaXz]

I really appreciate the coverage about OCD in this video but the thumbnail even mentions “how to overcome” these intrusive thoughts but you don’t talk about how to overcome them lol. You just say ERP and AAA methods, but like what is AAA? What are examples of ERP for it? Anyway ya, thanks for the video still but I know the info about these things already which is why I’m focused on how to overcome them

[@leozelt2156]

But what’s when you’re testing fantasies and you get aroused? That’s not hocd then?

[@leozelt2156]

Helloooooo ?!?

[@zhengpaul1456]

How do I overcome the fear that someone is harming me in the past?

[@kidsundance9021]

See more of these videos and just let this thoughts be and move on, don't rationalize, just accept they will always be there is what we have, just try to not pay attention to them, embrace them, they will diminish over time, be brave, we are not alone

[@doublem6027]

What about sexual intrusive dreams 😢

[@kaitlynguzman7279]

It means you always have sexual feelings with someone like want to have sex with a baby or someone else and when people touch you you feel the need to have sex with them

[@abigail-kh1dl]

do you have an email I can email you? I really need to talk about something
