If so, what’s the process? I have yet to be diagnosed with OCD, NOCD will be my first experience with therapy. I’m just a bit nervous for my first session and wondering what I should expect.
yes they can! for me i just told her my symptoms and possible themes i’ve had as well as the current one and the severity and by the end she was able to diagnose me
@ocdgirl123 Thank you :))
Yes, that’s why they’re here and after you’re diagnosed, then they treat you with ERP.
My therapist confirmed 4 diagnoses, including OCD. They get to know you and you share your fears thoughts obsessions compulsions etc tor a couple sessions and then they diagnose you
@cprock17 Thank you 😊
Hi there! Within your first two sessions you will be able to be assessed by a therapist and if you have OCD, they will diagnosis you with it. The first session is normally just answering many questions, the second session will be similar but may be a little less structured. I definitely suggest starting ERP therapy with a NOCD therapist! It is what really helped me on my OCD recovery journey.
@Emily Cruce I have my first appointment with a therapist!! :)) I’m just a little nervous with the first session and I was wondering what to expect. Thank you for your help !!
i am starting NOCD therapy on monday and was just curious on others’ experiences! what happens in your sessions, generally speaking? how do you feel during and after? i’m excited but also nervous to start. i’ve been in talk therapy for years with minimal improvement with my ocd, so im hopeful to start feeling better.
I am extremely nervous for my first session with a NOCD therapist. I feel myself tapping and counting more, what if he doesn’t like me? What if I’m not open enough? What if I talk too much? What if I tell things I don’t want to tell. Is this the right platform for OCD/ROCD ? Can’t sleep.
Should I start therapy? What if I say something that they think is odd, strange, illegal, etc.? What if they tell me it is not OCD? These are just a small handful of the things that I have heard from people who are worried about starting therapy. And, it is unfortunate that these types of questions, and the fear of their answers, keep people suffering. If you have these questions, I want to know about them. I hope that you will gain some insight and inspiration to take that step and try out NOCD ERP for your OCD. So, let me hear from you and let's overcome these fears together.
