I’ve been doing trauma work for ptsd from a traumatic childhood. It’s hard because OCD and PTSD seem to feed off one another. I feel kind of ashamed at how hard this is. I’m in therapy w a specialist. I just wanted to share where I was at incase anyone else is out there struggling too.
I’m dealing with the same mix. I also have somatic ocd.
I don’t have PTSD but I have dealt with some trauma in the past so I can only imagine how difficult it must be to go through. Sending lots of love and light your way ❤️❤️
They absolutely feed off one another! But it’s best to do the trauma work first so you don’t retraumatize yourself over and over again with exposures.
I also have PTSD. :(
Are you working with a NOCD therapist or an outside specialist?
@Jay Bird Outside specialist. I’ve done ocd training and now onto trauma
