Therapy Works

I really wanted to share this for those who are skeptical of their recovery journey. I know it may seem difficult right now, but you can reclaim your life. OCD robs so much from us, but through ERP guidance, we are able to take back what was stolen. After about two years of discovering that my struggles, growing up, was from having OCD, I am happy to say that I am now in the drivers seat and not OCD. Please be patient with yourself and compassionate to yourself. You will see that light at the end of the tunnel, and there are so many others who share your same experience. We are never alone. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I am an open book.

That’s so great to hear, so thankful you are doing well friend! If you don’t mind, could you share what your ERP exercises were like for your specific themes? I don’t have a therapist to do ERP with so I’m doing it myself, and it would be helpful to hear some examples you utilized. :)

@Anonymous 99 In the therapy section, exercises tab of this app there’s some sample exposures for different themes. Honestly I’ve found developing exposures is really hard to do yourself though. Often times I either pick baby exposures that don’t really do anything or go to hard and end up flooding myself and making things worse.

How long did it take for you with ERP to take control of your OCD?

@Rcope09 I noticed results the more I went to therapy. For me it was around the 2 month mark that I really saw a difference. You really have to work on using your tools the therapist provides, and I promise you will see results 😊
