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!

OCD breathing
Have been struggling with somatic breathing ocd. I start feeling like I can’t breathe and start feeling faint. I have a performance this weekend and my biggest fear is that I won’t be able to sing. I worry that I’m not gonna be able to perform cause it also causes a wave of fear and I’m scared I’m gonna feel too faint where I’m gonna have to go run off stage. I start hyperventilating and I don’t know how to stop it. My mind just makes me aware and then I eventually start hyperventilating. Any tips? I’ve tried just acknowledging it but it hasn’t helped the hyperventilating much. Any tips please? I have to go on stage for tech in 50 mins
