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? 𤣠Your therapist isnāt going to make you do that type of stuff. I donāt know youāre reading or where but I know you know the saying, āYou canāt trust everything you read on the internet.ā

I've been thinking the same. I don't really know what to do anymore, the only thing I can probably do is to trust God.

So you got to ask me anything⦠Now Iād like to ask you something! Iāve heard from Members that they were so scared coming to their first ERP session. They were terrified that I would think they were crazy, that I would tell them their worst fears were true. That I would confirm they are some form of a terrible person or have them hauled off to prison for their thoughts. Iāve also had Members share how theyāre very scared to begin ERP treatment because theyāve researched enough to know it means facing the fear, without the compulsions that have kept them feeling safe (but not really safe) this entire time. They struggled to see how they could be capable of doing this, while simultaneously acknowledging that they did not want to live like this anymore. If you have had your first session, what were your thoughts before? Did you have any hesitations or fears going into it? How did it turn out? If you havenāt yet begun to work with an ERP specialist, what is holding you back?

Iām thinking about doing erp but my ocd is so severe the thought of accepting my fears happening to me makes me sick to my stomach. I also believe in the power of my words and saying I accept this Bad thing will attract it into my life. Iām not sure what I should doš„²
