Somatic OCD
Hey all. I have had OCD practically my whole life, and have been a member of NOCD for two years now. I have struggled with practically every subtype in one way or another, but over the last week or so I have been struggling specifically with somatic OCD for the first time. I have a decent amount of knowledge of ERP but I feel like when it comes to somatic OCD exposures are a little different just considering how automatic somatic OCD is. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to create exposures around somatic OCD (specifically relating to swallowing and hyperawareness of teeth). I have no idea how to go about creating exposures, and my anxiety has been so high because of it.
