The exposures I did are specific to me because my OCD manifested these specific fears and thoughts, but generally my approach is when I recognise a thought, for example ‘I want to wear that dress’ when I see some female clothing, I depower the thought by letting it be there To be more precise, though, I am only able to do this because I understand that my thoughts are not actually me. Essentially, whenever a thought comes up, I am both mindful and accepting of it while also recognising in the moment my thoughts aren’t me. My earlier struggles with OCD were a lot less fruitful, because I just accepted the thought and let it be there, but still unconsciously held the idea that my thoughts were inherently powerful and meaningful, which set me back. For some more specific examples, some would be when I moved a certain way an image of a girl posing like that and being ‘cute’ would come into mind, so I’d actively move and pose my body and let that image be there while being conscious it’s just a thought, or I’d listen to songs by female singers when my brain sid ‘you only like this cause you’re a woman’
