Thank you for the resources on sensorimotor ocd.
(English is not my first language, sorry for the lack of clarity my explanation may make.)
No, she didn’t have any accidents. In fact, she is not frequently going to the loo, she requires our answer to the question “Did I just pee?”. If we answer “I don’t know, please think by yourself”, she kept asking “Please tell me, did I just pee?” in a worried tone. Only our “yes” or “no” makes the questioning stops.
If it’s to be sensorimotor ocd , peeing is the compulsion? or can reassurance seeking be the compulsion here?
She tightens her body in order to tighten her genital and she told me it makes her a good feeling. So I assume this is part of her sexual exploration(which I considered normal in her age). But the frequency of doing this increased and she cant control this when she is anxious . Which is the right way to approach this?
