#262- When “I’m Bisexual” Is Not Enough To Quiet ROCD/ SOOCD

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of ROCD and SO-OCD in relation to bisexuality and offers exercises to help manage these thoughts.

Toblerone Girl messaged me with an audio question recently. Unfortunately, she’s struggling with the dreaded overlap of ROCD and SO-OCD that seem to be made for one another. She notices some genuine feelings, but OCD jumps in and demands the all or nothing of it, and doesn’t take “I’m must be bisexual” as a reasonable label. I discuss some ways she can consider the situation and offer some exercises that may help her develop a new relationship with her thoughts.
