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!

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❤️

I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️

Does anyone know how to get rid of these thoughts? I have to manually breathe almost every second of everyday and it's getting tiresome and I can't stop thinking about no matter what the distractions are.
