Erp

Second week off erp, both times, the next day I feel pretty anxious 😬 anyone else
I’m going to start soon. It honestly sounds terrifying.
@Charlotte O Yeah it is but honestly it is helping already, like my intrusive thoughts I’m dealing with better, the anxiety is hard but even that is better than before. I know, she gave me homework and I been a little freaked out about that too
Everytime I do exposure therapy and even if it ends up good I get more nervous for the next time. How do I get past this I really need some help please. Now I am scared to even move the car after I drove on the main road 2 days ago.
A few hours ago I had my first ERP session and I am currently feeling nauseous and nervous at the same time. Right after my first exposure I wanted to quit right then and there, but I know I cannot. Does anyone have any tips for sitting with this level of discomfort? Anything is appreciated. Thanks! :-)
Anyone else feel like they just sit there during sessions? Like I can’t wait for it to be over so I don’t have to do this twice a week anymore. I think I’m putting in effort but sometimes feels like a huge waste of time and I’m not making progress but maybe that’s just my ocd?
