An incredibly crucial part in breaking the stigma of taboo OCD obsessional themes is in understanding that OCD obsessions are ego-dystonic. This means that by definition, OCD obsessions are against the sufferer’s values, morals, beliefs and against their self-image. Individuals with OCD spend hours a day engaging in compulsive behaviors and rituals that are aimed to reduce fear and anxiety. This is to say that if there was no OCD – no obsessions and no compulsions, this person would never have to worry about the fears they ruminate on because at their core it is against their morals and values to ever engage in them.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, today I’d like to write about pedophilia-themed OCD obsessions to spread awareness and accurate information for those struggling with this to know they’re not alone and there is treatment available.
