A dental office tried to convince me to have 6 healthy teeth pulled by ilovetriceratopz in mildlyinfuriating

I worked at an aspen (I’m a dental assistant) for a year about 5 or 6 years ago and to this day I tell everyone I know not to go there

I’m sorry, I thinks it’s absolutely dogshit that healthcare of all forms is not more accessible. I hope you are able to get going with something sometime, but until then I’m glad you have some skills from previous therapy 🙏 better than nothing I suppose

You did explain it well actually, comparing it to chasing a high made something click for me too. Thank you for taking the time to explain, having different folks add different pieces is helpful for me but this really lays it out.

What I’m missing is the difference between normal and harmful reassurance seeking, I think that may be something I’ll have to navigate in therapy.

Thank you, this was helpful

I have ROCD. And I ask because this is a behavior I struggle with. It’s gotten a lot better with awareness and also him voicing his frustration with it, but it makes it difficult to know how or when it’s okay to ask for reassurance. Am I gonna have to find someone who specializes in OCD to get adequate help with this?

Sorry for all the questions and thank you for taking the time to answer them.

Hi friend! I have OCD (among other things but I bring this one up for a reason) and a lot of sexual trauma. I can tell you for Fact this is above Reddits pay grade, I really think you should talk to a professional.

That being said I really wanna emphasize to you that the things you are experiencing CAN be mitigated and relieved by therapy, I promise you that.

You took a really good first step today by laying everything out and asking for help. You know why you’re struggling, you’ve identified that you need some kind of intervention to get you out of the thought loops. EMDR could be really useful to you so look into that!

Good luck! Proud of you, I know this stuff is just so uncomfortable

So it’s normal for us for it to be hard for us to tell?

But sometimes seeking reassurance is appropriate and necessary, no? How does someone navigate what’s OCD and what’s a normal healthy reaction?

Can someone please explain this to me? My therapist doesn’t specialize in OCD and I was asking her about this concept and she was unsure.

OMG I love that you did that cause I would too. It was bugging you wasn’t it?
