I am afraid starting ERP because of what I have read. I think they will make me do things that is against my religion such as worshipping and keeping images of saints at home and pray to the devil. It really gives me distress thinking about it and I feel like I should avoid ERP altogether. Afraid that God will disapprove of me.

That is not true. Your counselor will not make you do anything you aren't comfortable with. Second, God will not disapprove of you. He knows you have OCD and He knows that ERP is the best way to get better. That is your OCD lying to you. ERP is terrifying and hard. But I can tell you that the benefits of doing ERP are so worth it.

What? 🤣 Your therapist isn’t going to make you do that type of stuff. I don’t know you’re reading or where but I know you know the saying, “You can’t trust everything you read on the internet.”
