Dealing With Intrusive Sexual Thoughts
Intrusive sexual thoughts are unwanted, distressing mental images or scenarios that feel completely at odds with who you are, and the horror you feel about them is actually evidence they conflict with your values, not that you secretly want them. If you're reading this in a moment of shame or panic, that reaction makes sense. Understanding what's actually happening in your mind is the first step toward loosening the grip these thoughts have on you.
