Please can someone sponsor me with therqpy can't afford therapy I'm from the philippines really need it please

hi!! what are u struggling with? i dont have to finances to fund you but i do go to therapy myself and i would like to share anything and everything that i learn from my therapy that could be useful to u :)

So ocd

@gpskate143 u should check out ali greymond!!! on youtube she has really really helpful videos

@BHDK and as for helping u with coming up with exposures i think from what i learnt in therapy u forst have to wrote down what the thoughts that are troubling u and rate each of them out of 100 SUDS level ( thats how i do it in my therapy) SUDS levels is basically the level of discomfort/anxiety and start off with the thought with the least SUDS preferably 45-50 SUDS.

@BHDK I learnt 3 types of exposures which are 1) Written Exposures 2) Audio Exposures 3) Imaginary Exposures

@BHDK so for example i have so ocd too so some of my thoughts are that im actually straight and im pretending to be gay whrn in fact im sure im gay but yet the thought of being straight scares me. So my written exposure can be OCD thought: " i am pretending to be gay and im actually straight" and i write down how many suds that felt like to me n for now lets say i put down 50 SUDS. so i write it down again and put my suds down again and i continue doing it until i have 5 consecutive 0 SUDS

@BHDK so on ur peice of paper ull have 2 columns one for OCD thought and the other for SUDS and usually the first few tries take a long time i took almost 1h30mins on my forst try to get it to 0 SUDS but u'll get there. with continuous effort and consistency u'll defibrillator make progress

Have you tried reading books to help?

No i haven't can you recommend any book to read?

@gpskate143 i have been reading Relationship OCD A CBT‐BASED GUIDE TO MOVE BEYOND OBSESSIVE DOUBT, ANXIETY & FEAR OF COMMITMENT IN ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS Sheva Rajaee, MFT

@BHDK even if urs isnt rocd i think it has alot of useful info that u can put it into use for ur theme
