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

Hes knowledgeable but the clinicians under him are the worst! Not properly trained or supervised. It feels like a scam going there. They work under him to open their own clinics or side hustles and charge huge amounts of money. Disinterested in clients or preparing for sessions. Horrible experience.

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.

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...

ERP
I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️

Thinking of trying therapy
I’m considering trying therapy through nocd. This is too heavy for me to try and hold in anymore. I had a really bad night last night. I don’t want to use my mom’s insurance so I’d be self pay. Has anyone tried and is it worth it in your opinion? I’m afraid this is starting to affect my relationship and even my job+ feels more debilitating than ever. I think it might be time I’m also so shy. I wish I could do text therapy rather than phone visit 😫 any advice? I’m sure it’s not as bad as I imagine it’ll be. If anything I’ll bet it’s nice and I won’t feel the need to hold back. I’m also not diagnosed yet, has anyone gotten a diagnosis from doing therapy this way?

Getting through life when therapy is unaffordable
Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a difficult situation and I wanted to ask for some advice. I recently finished my studies and I am living from my savings while I look for a job. However this process has turned out to be a lot more difficult and tedious than I expected. I suspect I have OCD as I relate to a lot of the experiences described here, in particular those corresponding to pure OCD. I have continuous intrusive thoughts about how what I'm currently doing is not enough, I constantly need to reassured that what I'm doing is right, with some magical thinking and concerns about my relationship sprinkled in. These intrusive thoughts have made it very difficult to make any significant progress in looking for something. Added to this I'm not even sure I have OCD as I don't have the money to afford therapy right now (my mind keeps telling me that it's silly to write this message because there's no way I have OCD). I live in Switzerland so as far as I understand my insurance won't cover sessions with NOCD. In conclusion I'm a bit stuck, therapy would help with finding a job but I need a job to get therapy. If any of you have had any similar experience and have some piece of advice it would be very welcome.
