It's a big fear for most OCD sufferers that their unwanted thoughts/emotions signal repressed thoughts/emotions. How can you tell what you need to analyse and what you need to just let go? Many 'spiritual' sites advise analysing ourselves, finding our repressed emotions and letting them out in order to heal, but I know this is the complete opposite to what OCD sufferers should do- we should rather let them pass without dwelling on them or attaching any significance to them at all.
And how would an OCD sufferer who is spiritually-minded sort out the difference between OCD-related 'magical thinking' and the usual spiritual talk of 'always think positive' 'body/mind connection'? The notion that we can heal ourselves, bring positive things to us etc., can be inspiring for the average person but for those who cannot help but think/feel their worst, most unwanted things, it's terrifying to make such a connection.
These issues are the ones I find the hardest to understand. Help?
