POCD can be an incredibly distressing presentation of OCD, particularly because the thoughts can feel so inconsistent with a person’s values.

People may become caught in cycles of checking, avoidance, reassurance-seeking, rumination and analysing what their thoughts might mean.

The fear of being judged and the discomfort of talking about such difficult themes can also make it harder to feel comfortable opening up or seeking support.

But this is what we want you to know:

POCD is a recognised presentation of OCD. It is treatable and having intrusive thoughts does not automatically tell you anything about who you are as a person.

If you’re experiencing thoughts that frighten or distress you, you deserve support without judgement.

Symptoms of anxiety and OCD can overlap, which can sometimes make it difficult to tell them apart.

Shoni takes us through some of the key differences between anxiety and OCD. One of her key points is that having intrusive thoughts alone doesn’t mean you have OCD. Intrusive thoughts can occur across a range of mental health conditions.

More to come on this topic.

Feeling stuck with OCD can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re putting in the effort and still feel like you’re going around in circles.

Our latest blog looks at some of the less obvious reasons OCD can feel so persistent.

Sometimes the very things we do try to get unstuck can keep the cycle going.

OCD doesn’t always look like the stereotypes we hear about.

For many people, it can look more like persistent worry, overthinking or a constant need to feel certain. The compulsions can happen quietly through checking, analysing, reviewing or seeking reassurance.

Of course, experiencing anxiety or overthinking doesn’t automatically mean you have OCD. But if you recognise this pattern, an assessment can help clarify what’s going on.

Think this might be you? We assess and treat OCD here in Brisbane, with Telehealth options for all over Australia.

Therapy doesn’t…

But therapy does give you space to understand what’s going on, work through challenges, learn new skills and sometimes look at things from a different perspective.

ERP can involve discomfort, but we promise we don’t get a kick out of making you as anxious as possible.

Each exposure is chosen for a reason and is designed to help you practice responding differently to OCD. The overall aim is meaningful, repeated practice that helps you become less controlled by OCD over time.

13/08/2026

One of the most important takeaways from ERP is that progress is rarely linear and hard does not always mean regression.

OCD can shift the goalposts. Some days you might tackle an exposure head on, while other days might simply feel hard. The essence of ERP is to continue good enough practice over time, rather than feeling demoralised over small setbacks.

Shoni chats about what this might look like and why the overall ERP practice over time matters more than getting every exposure perfect.

Our Psychologist James Clancy recently sat down to share the ins and outs of sexual intrusive thoughts.

These thoughts can be incredibly distressing, especially when they involve taboo content or content that feels completely out of character.

In the blog, James explores why these thoughts can feel so disturbing, how we can unintentionally get caught in cycles of analysing, checking and reassurance-seeking, and what can help.
