One of the most distressing aspects of OCD is the presence of intrusive thoughts. These thoughts may be violent, sexual, religious, or otherwise disturbing. Having such thoughts does not mean a person wants them to happen or agrees with them. People with OCD are often frightened by these thoughts precisely because they conflict with their values. A thought is not a plan. A thought is not an intention. Learning to respond differently to intrusive thoughts is an important part of recovery.
