For years, Tracie Ibrahim treated OCD professionally — but even she was stunned by how often groinal response came up in sessions. Not just with one theme, but across the board: harm OCD, sexual orientation OCD, taboo thoughts. And every time, it came with the same crushing question from clients — “Does this mean I want it?”In this episode, Tracie unpacks the mind-body disconnect at the heart of these fears.
