Hi there halem77. When I worked at a residential level of care, we would refer patients out for Deep brain stimulation, or "Deep" TMS, when they had difficulty habituating to exposures in ERP. These individuals responded well, and afterward were much more responsive to treatment. However, this is a different form of treatment than "standard" TMS, which has more treatment effectiveness/efficacy for depression.

@NOCD Therapist - Jason G. Thanks for the insight! My one therapist in the past recommended it and basically said there was no hope for me with meds and therapy. I really don’t want to have to do TMS. But I’m scared that I’m the exception of not getting better.
