#265- What If My Values Aren’t Mine, Featuring Lauren Rosen, MFT

Q: But Lauren, as you listened to Lemon's question, what are some of the things that jumped out for you that perhaps she can think about or consider as she's moving forward with this?

Lauren highlights that the main issue is existential rumination and the desire to get values perfectly right. She emphasizes that there may be multiple core fears (e.g., fear of being bad, fear of future suffering) and that values can change over time. Importantly, she notes that there is no definitive answer to whether one's values are truly “one's own,” and that therapy should focus on reducing compulsions and tolerating uncertainty while engaging in value-driven, but flexible, actions.

#267- Is Anthony’s Girlfriend A Gargoyle, Or Is ROCD At It Again?

Q: What should I do when I experience thoughts that my girlfriend isn't attractive enough and I fear I am leading her on?

Acknowledge the thought without engaging, identify the specific compulsions it triggers, and gradually reduce them by using delay, worry time, and behaviors that strengthen the relationship beyond appearance, such as compassion and intentional affection.

#263- ERP For Disordered Eating, What’s An Intrusive Thought, And More

Q: What is an obsession versus an intrusive thought, and how do they relate to pure O?

Intrusive thoughts are sudden, unwanted mental events; obsessions are often persistent, distressing questions that drive avoidance or other compulsions; the two terms overlap but can be defined to help tailor psychoeducation and exposure planning.

#263- ERP For Disordered Eating, What’s An Intrusive Thought, And More

Q: Is ERP a suitable method for breaking the cycle of disordered eating and anxiety around calories and exercise?

ERP can be part of treatment for overlapping OCD and eating-disorder symptoms; the approach includes challenging risk narratives, reconsidering the need for strict control, and integrating acceptance and commitment strategies alongside nutritional/medical guidance.

#263- ERP For Disordered Eating, What’s An Intrusive Thought, And More

Q: I'm a 32-year-old woman with OCD obsessions about religion, relationships, sexual orientation. Is there such a thing as a lesbian having OCD about being straight?

Yes, sexual orientation OCD can affect anyone regardless of current identity; HOCD or sexual‑orientation concerns are OCD themes where the real task is recognizing the thoughts as unwanted and challenging the compulsions, while staying connected to one's relationships and self-identity.
