Part of the work of therapy for Taboo OCD is learning to detach your identity from taboo intrusive thoughts.
This means understanding that the content of taboo intrusive thoughts is not a reflection of a deep, dark part of your identity.
In fact, the content of taboo intrusive thoughts reflects the opposite of your values. This is why taboo intrusive thoughts elicit such intense distress.
Fortunately, Exposure and Response Prevention therapy helps you to recognize that Taboo OCD is NOT who you are!
