@alegrakastens: Sometimes I get a comment saying “I’m worried that talking about POCD will give p€d0s an excuse. They’ll just say it’s OCD.” That’s not how it works because POCD is NOT p€d0phiIia!!! People with OCD do *not* act on their unwanted intrusive thoughts about children. They’re deeply disturbed by them. The obsessions of OCD are egodystonic: opposite to their values, desires, and self-concept. People with OCD perform compulsions to make sure nothing bad happens. It’s the opposite of p€d0phiIia. A p€d0phiI€ cannot use OCD as an excuse because p€d0phiIia (attraction to children that is egosyntonic: in alignment with their desires and self-concept) is NOT OCD. Full stop. #pocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdawareness #therapy #therapytiktok
