Has ERP Sessions Benefited Breathing OCD?

Hi!  This would probably be known or categorized under what you might see as "somatic OCD".  I believe we have some blogs on this topic and even a guided audio under our SOS function.  Dr Michael Greenberg also has some fantastic content on his website about somatic OCD, some rituals you may be doing, and what you can do instead.  There are also some wonderful podcast episodes on The OCD Stories about somatic OCD so I would take a look there.  But it's important to know that, yes, ERP sessions can be helpful for this type of OCD and any type of OCD.  Especially here at NOCD, our therapists are trained in how to treat this and can meet your unique and individual needs.  We also have access to tons and tons of supervision opportunities, so if we are ever in a bind or unsure how to approach something, we have access to a lot of professionals and world renowned specialists who understand OCD in and out.  Best of luck!
