GeeN,
My OCD is pure obsessional at this point in it's progress. The obsessions are things I really wouldn't do or address in real life, but it is connected to my childhood and issues with my father growing up. Have you read BRAIN LOCK? Many people have obsessions about things they wouldn't do in real life, like moms worrying about hurting their child, or people worried they've run over a body, etc. Many times there is a connection to an issue in their past. But the point in therapy isn't really to discuss the specific topic of the obsession. The point in therapy and dail life is to work on not reacting to the obsessions--cognitive behavior therapy.
