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!

Those of you who have overcome at least a bit, if not all, of your OCD. When you went through the CBT and ERP, did it feel like the end of the world? And how did you face the fact that your fears and uncertainties might actually come to life?

Ocd pattern
Sometimes I notice my intrusive thoughts cause me to spiral and sometimes not. I've been practicing ERP for quite a while so it's a bit easier for me to not spiral. But I wonder why that happens. Does anyone else have it? Also I'm on medication idk if that plays a role.

Kind of Spiraling
Hi guys! I’m new to the community and I’ve recently received my OCD diagnosis (tho I’ve known about it since childhood). I’ve been somewhat spiraling lately as I wait for my first ERP session (hooray!) I was just wondering if any of you guys have received ERP for existential OCD and if it was successful? My existential OCD compulsions are more so mental and have been affecting me in the sense of dream/memory flashbacks and giving me a sort of “uncanny” feeling about everything around me. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you❤️
