It is proposed that the feared self develops from a vulnerable self\u2010concept, which itself is a result of normative self\u2010concept development being disrupted by negative early life experiences. However, it is currently unclear which experiences lead to the development of vulnerable self\u2010concept in people with OCD. This study aimed to describe the events and life experiences that people with OCD report as influential in the development of their vulnerable and feared self\u2010concepts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixteen participants with OCD participated in semi\u2010structured interviews.

Subthemes of traumatic experiences included early abuse informs the corrupted feared self, harassment fosters a feared self, and parental neglect informs the manifestation of the culpable feared self. Subthemes of rejection included interpersonal betrayal instigates self\u2010doubt, not living up to parental expectations instigates self\u2010doubt and parental neglect fosters vulnerable self\u2010concept. These findings suggest that, for individuals with OCD, traumatic and rejection experiences were integrated into their self\u2010concept resulting in its vulnerability and taking on feared aspects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings may be able to inform future research investigating prevention and treatment strategies that focus on the identification and treatment value of traumatic and rejection experiences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/bjc.70085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T12:35:11Z","timestamp":1786624511000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Investigating the events that predispose vulnerable and feared self\u2010concepts in obsessive\u2010compulsive disorder: A qualitative analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8191-8806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"I.","family":"Gomez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Sciences Swinburne University of Technology  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Nedeljkovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Sciences Swinburne University of Technology  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Skues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Sciences Swinburne University of Technology  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Acevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Sciences Swinburne University of Technology  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7968-2897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.
