@SophieDofieeDoo I definitely have but I only have sessions every 2 weeks. My questions are you able to have romantic day dreams by chance? That’s something that gives me Great Depression that I can not have romantic fantasies anymore because incest thoughts always come in. Do you know how I can go back to this? Day dreaming used to be my favourite thing to do and I’m depressed without it

@SophieDofieeDoo Ok I will definitely try that and one more question if that’s ok I’m also going through a lot of depression ruminating on not being able to feel how I’ve felt before ruminating on my mind used to work and ruminating on ocd it’s self. Do you know how to apply anything to help me in this position?

The RP in ERP
Hi! I've been on my OCD healing journey for about half a year and I have seen a lot of success. I'm reaching out for advice, I am very willing to do exposures because I know the more I do them, the more I get better, but I struggle with the response prevention part. I don't know how to control my brain when it comes to facing the fears especially since most of my compulsions are mental. I can tell myself the typical things "I am okay with the uncertainty of this happening", etc. but its like my brain doesn't believe them. I've been stuck in this disconnect for a while and would love advice you have heard from a therapist or learned that has really help you.
