Has therapy helped you?

I’ve been putting my sessions on a credit card cause it isn’t covered by my insurance. But honestly my mental health has been bad for so long and I need to put myself first. It sucks but we gotta do what we gotta do

I don’t know if you have OCD or what type of therapy your thinking of. As for myself I’ve had OCD since my 20’s and I’m 62 now. I didn’t know I had OCD but about 2 years it skyrocketed. That was when I started getting counseling with NOCD. It has been a huge help. If someone has OCD talk therapy will not work and it could possibly make the OCD worse. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) works. ERP is where I do the trigger that causes anxiety and I don’t do the compulsion to stop the anxiety but I let the brain know it is a false alarm. Is it tough? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. There is the free 15 minute call to NOCD. It has been a huge help for me.

I’ve been in therapy for several years for other issues and it has helped me immensely. I’d say it’s definitely worth the investment to help you improve your quality of life ❤️‍🩹

NoCD has been a huge help for me over the last 6 months. I can sleep, do chores, travel, and I'm ready to look for a job. ERP is really hard work and it takes discipline to do the homework. I also have a regular talk therapist and I like doing that too but it would not have helped me very much with OCD by itself. My other therapist was just too interested in validating and exploring my fears. My NoCD therapy feels like going to the brain gym, and that's what really has helped me get my life back.
