Does anyone here have experience with Ali greymond's recovery program for OCD? I'm desperate for a therapist/someone to guide me onto recovery but it's gonna take months before I can get help irl. I'd try this out as her videos are very informative/she seems to know a lot about OCD but it's expensive and my parents are afraid it's a scam. If bad experiences please let me know too.

I'm also doubting if I should buy her program. But I can assure you, it isn't a scam, you really can help you recover.

Overcoming OCD is a self-help book which is great

I honestly don't think a book will be enough right now and I also don't manage my own money to even buy it, I'd need permission from my parents.. I don't function and my OCD has taken over my life completely. I honestly have depression from living with so much OCD too and suicidal thoughts as a result of it. Sorry I just am losing hope the last few months. I wanna have a life again so badly. This got a bit like a rant but I just had to write it up sorry.

Chellie, I feel your pain. In terms of a therapist that can help I suggest Steven philipson. He’s a world reknowned therapist that knows his stuff. His practice is amazing. It takes time and your going to have relapses. With ERP and time you will feel better. I been suffering for 3 years now and my pain from my anxiety/OCD is tough. I get it

If you can see a therapist who specializes in OCD in person, one on one, that’s best. People who do, recover faster and with better results. Tell your parents that you want/need help from a professional. You don’t have to explain every thought/theme you’re suffering from or convince them it’s OCD, just let them know that you are in fact suffering and you cant get out of it alone. Ask for an OCD specialist. It will be hard to ask for help, but your life will be so much better off if you can tackle it early.

Chellie, do your parents know about your OCD? Cause perhaps they might see the book as a good investment. It's perfect if you can't afford expensive therapy.

NOCD has therapists

Yeah they know and we've been trying to get medical help in real life, to get hospitalised even, it's just that the waiting list for treatment takes so long... I have been waiting for months already and I should expect another year's wait until I can get help, it is crazy honestly. I've even tried with insurance to get to speed up the waiting list but they don't do that because too many people ask it or something... the waiting drives me nuts. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue but my goodness therapists who give specialised ERP is hard to find...

If you’re in an area where resources are limited, online therapy can be a great solution. You can choose from facilities all over the world and get help much faster. Here’s one to start: https://ocdla.com/telephone-online-therapy-ocd-anxiety
