Question: 

My husband & I just finished Week 5 of EMS Online. In your video you suggest a number of ideas on how to deal with Intrusive thoughts, one being predicting and repairing. One example given was the condo on Lady Bird Lake. Our question is, could you provide suggestion on how to predict & repair intrusive thoughts when we are engaging in sex, kissing, hugging, massaging, lingerie, when I where lipstick, when I say I love you, anything intimate? My husband is having quite severe flooding and intrusive thoughts. Many of these wake him up each night.
