My therapist I was seeing for ERP severely betrayed my trust (not OCD-related) to the point where I don’t feel comfortable seeing him anymore. I want to continue ERP but am now very wary seeking therapy due to the levels of comorbid care that I need never being fully met. Does anyone have any resources or experience doing ERP by themselves and improving?

Oh thats fantastic thanks!

I’ll keep seeking out ERP, for sure. A part of me wonders if my comorbidities aren’t seeing any improvement due to ERP still being very difficult. Fingers crossed that everything improves to some extent as I (hopefully) make some headway

@Getting there I hope so too! Good luck! I'm starting soon too.

Do you have any recommendations for good places to find therapists? I’ve tried three for OCD in total, two from NOCD’s services and one from using Psychology Today. I’m struggling with other mental health issues as well, and my past OCD therapists were unable to treat me in those regards due to not having the experience.

@Getting there I don’t have anywhere for recommendations because my therapist has 30+ years and basically does everything, so it worked out for me.

@Getting there If you have multiple mental illnesses, you’ll probably have to find multiple therapists.

@Nica Unfortunately I don’t have the money or time to see more than one therapist. Thank you for the advice, though.

I did, both times. I don’t think it’s NOCD’s fault (or the individual therapists’), rather I have a lot of different diagnoses and issues that require their own specific treatments. It’s rare enough to find therapists in my area that specialize in one, let alone multiple at a time

@Getting there I see. I have my first appointment coming up and I've got two other diagnoses too (GAD and depression) and panic disorder too not sure if that counts as a third. But I was on another app and the person ruined my trust too. Right as I'm in crisis and it's awful. I hope we can both find someone good soon.

@Catperson10 Good luck to you. Hopefully your upcoming appointment goes well—for what it’s worth, I have diagnosed GAD and depression, and both therapists I saw through NOCD handled them beautifully.

@Getting there Oh that's fantastic! My last therapisy just said that worry is a choice and I'm like that is so unhelpful and I'm in a bad spot now. So thank you that is great to hear.
