Ask Alegra: Unpacking Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity OCD
Do you struggle with persistent intrusive thoughts and images that are not in alignment with your sexual orientation or gender identity? Are you filled with doubt because of them? Do you worry that you’ve lost your identity overnight? That you’re really just lying to yourself and everyone else? Do you struggle to understand true questioning of one’s orientation or identity vs. obsessional doubt?
If so, this workshop is for YOU!
In the hour presentation, we will address:
Common sexual orientation and gender identity obsessions and compulsions
True questioning/reasonable doubt vs. obsessional doubt
Evidence-based treatment for OCD (specifically as it relates to SO + GI obsessions)
Justice-based ERP
Inclusive OCD treatment
And more!
As a queer and queer-affirming therapist, this workshop is inclusive and will touch on varying sexual orientations and identities (i.e. not limited to cisgender, heterosexual folks).
The first hour is a presentation and the last 30 minutes of the workshop is comprised of a Q&A.
