You’ll also find tips for disclosing violent obsessions, finding adequate professional help, and working with loved ones to address harm OCD systemically. And finally, you’ll learn that your thoughts are just thoughts, and that they don’t make you a bad person.
If you have harm OCD, it’s time to move past the stigma and start focusing on solutions. This evidence-based guide will help light the way.
