Obsessions Found in Pure O
Obsessions are intrusive and unwanted thoughts, images, impulses, or sensations. These mental intrusions are ego-dystonic. This contributes to the panic and internal resistance that accompanies such thoughts.
While obsessions can take on any theme, the following are several categories of obsessions commonly experienced with Pure O:
• thoughts about harming oneself or others;
• thoughts about abhorrent sexual activity, such as pedophilia or incest;
• persistent doubt about one’s sexual orientation;
• persistent doubt about one’s romantic partner;
• antireligious thoughts; and
• thoughts about normally unnoticed somatic functions, such as blinking, swallowing, or breathing.
