Hello

I understand the expose part well , but when you read therapist article or forums , its really clear how to do the Response prevention . If I fear killing my son ,Do i tell my self ''im gonna kill my son'' to desensitive or ''I MAY kill my son'' or ''accept the thought without any signifiance''

These are 3 different way to react , which one the therapist suggest??

Thanks

yes ERP and OCD can be very complicated. trust me, trust me ERP works. it really does work i promise you it literally works better then any medicine. you should ask your therapist / a therapist, about but i am pretty sure that you should think about killing your son but dont do any of your compulsions. wether its washing your hands, counting, repeating things, checking, or whatever it may be, dont do it. just think of killing your son and dont do those things. hope this helps and good luck, i will be here and we all will if you need to talk. God Bless you
