Did my Therapist’s approach not went far enough?

I was in Therapy for some months for my OCD. I used to struggle with violent and disturbing intrusive thoughts that would make me feel like a psycho and hinder my function in social situations and daily life because of it. My compulsion to deal with these thoughts was to imagine my head explode or other things along the line to make the thought able to escape and relieve anxiety.

My therapist told me how these thoughts are not my own, I can’t control them, arguing with them makes em stronger and validates them. These thoughts say nothing about me.

She would help me sort of replace my violent compulsion with a more constructive one. For the last year, everytime an ocd thought pops up I remember that these thoughts have nothing to say about me as a person to get the relief that I am not a total nutjob.

I did some research on my own a few days ago and was wondering if this wasn’t going far enough. Since I am basically arguing with my thought about it’s validity.

Additionally we had a few exercises where I was supposed to feel the anxiety and actively confront the most cruel and vivid thoughts, thinking myself into them, but she never really taught me that the end goal should be to accept the uncertainty, to teach the brain to not feel anxious anymore, if I understand correctly what I read.

It’s a vicious marketing cycle

>Monster Jam makes collab with kiddie brands (bailey)
>kid fanbase grows out of crosstraffic (bailey kids -> MJ kids)
>more brands who target kids see monster jam as an opportunity to market to kids
>monster jam makes another kiddie truck with new brand
>new crosstraffic with new brand, kid fanbase increases more

Rinse and repeat

(This is just a shotty theory I cooked up don’t take too serious but sounds logical right? Well that’s logic but reality can look different)

How to dress if I am wide?

No, not white, I mean wide, I have a wide frame, broad shoulders and hips. I‘m not a fat motherfucker either, more on the skinny fat side but also got some muscle in my legs and torso. I am average height and too wide for my height. Especially in summer when I wear baggy shorts I feel too wide. What do you think how do I play to my strengths? Should I embrace it or try to conceal it. I know this isn’t a fashion advice subreddit but before I ask r/malefashionadvice I am gonna shoot myself and don’t give me some fucking loading screen type of responses like "wear vertical stripes to appear yada yada" ✌️

Love the green of the pair and the light brown leather on the edge

Got these 2nd hand in good condition for 70 bucks. This pair is woman size 11.5. I usually wear size 10, so I sticked to the 1 1/2 upsize rule. Length of the shoe is good, a bit narrow around the toes imo. Still able to walk around in them decently though. Hope this helps incase anybody wonders about sizing.

How do you think drivers could push themselves in the coming years to make freestyle more exciting?

I think shorter setups for tricks like backflips would be great. It really kills the flow of a freestyle when drivers take 10-20 seconds to line them up right. We already got consistent backflips, doing multiple and on the fly would be sick. It would also be awesome to see another frontflip. But I think that move is banned if i remember correctly :/

Suche einen sexistischen Deutschrap Song aus den 2000ern

Haben den damals in der 6ten Klasse rauf und runter gehört. War irgendso eine Untergrund Nummer. Ich schätze 2005-2010. Irgendetwas an dem Song war mega eingängig, entweder beat oder hook. Ich meine da wurd auch irgendwas gesamplet was man kennt. Ich meine auch es waren mehrere Rapper auf dem Track. Ich kann mich an keine einzige Zeile erinnern. Es ging aufjedenfall um richtig dreckigen Sex.

edit: Es war Bitte fick mich von Enton Jackson oder so (mit mitte 20 hittet der nicht mehr so wie mit zwölf)

ROCD Rants

Do you ever rant to yourself about your partner and what they do that pisses you off? Small mishaps come back up and become hyperbolic. I experience this sometimes. During these phases I am sure I‘ll have to break up but afterwards not.

Favorite movie haircut?

I really love Tony Montanas haircut. It should be a formal haircut but it looks aggressive and rugged. What are your favorite haircuts in movies? Brad Pitt in Fight Club comes to mind.
