False attraction trick

[askandParticipant]

Hi, I have been doing bad lately with BDD and false attraction to the perfect body. When I ruminate about false attraction for example I imagine this body to see if I’m attracted to it, but what my OCD does it adds things that make me feel good to the scenario that I create in my head, and this makes me feel awful because I have a good feeling towards myself sometimes so what I realised is that OCD is trying to trick me with a good feeling to think that I have attraction towards that body
