Hi Innerzone - no worries at all!! I wasn't in any way offended - I haven't watched Monk but will make a point to look for it now! I do know that when watching Obsessed on A&E that I can totally relate to those and it doesn't trigger me at all to see the behaviours. It is just like me sitting back and going oh yea, I can totally see me falling into the same obsessive behaviour if x,y,z had happened to me in the past (as they seem to usually be post-trauma based scenarios that I have seen). And I am always so impressed with the exposure therapies they agree to because I would be like no way!!! Dream on if you think I"m doing that! I'd rather live with the disruption from the repetitive behaviour. Does that kind of answer the question, even though I used a different show? Yea, I'd have to say doing ritual behaviours don't cause me the upset - it is the loss of time that distresses me.
