OCD can also create unwanted experiences that go far beyond thoughts — vivid images, uncomfortable feelings, intense urges, and even physical sensations that can feel incredibly real. And when those experiences seem to go against who you are or what you value, it’s easy to start questioning what they mean about you.</p><p><br></p><p>In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath breaks down the different ways OCD obsessions can show up and why those experiences can feel so convincing. He also explains how people can get pulled into analyzing a sensation, reacting to an urge, or trying to make sense of an image — and why the real problem often isn’t the obsession itself, but the compulsions that follow it.</p><p><br></p><p>At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life.
