“being distressed about an evil thought is what shows you’re a good person” = bad, unhelpful, is not at all conducive to OCD recovery
“there’s no such thing as a good or bad thought”, “your thoughts do not define your morality”, etc = good, helpful, acknowledges the fact that thoughtcrime isn’t real
remember kids, implying that distress is what makes you a good person is NOT a good way to encourage people to build a life where they are able to learn to live alongside intrusive thoughts
