patience/progress
So I know in the grand scheme of things I haven’t really been doing ERP all that long, and my anxiety hasn’t been the worst ever especially compared to what I see on this app with some of falls triggering experiences. I even feel frustrated sometimes that I can’t seem to trigger myself “enough” with planned exposures. But heck I still get “what if this isn’t OCD” thoughts every single day. And I know therapy and treatment takes time and progress isn’t linear. So what are some other things you tell yourself (in a non engagement way) to sit with being persistent and patient with treatment?
