Hello everyone, today marks 15 days since therapy, mostly been good days, however yesterday and today have been a little harder then usual. With so-ocd you tend to see good looking people and your mind takes it as signs. I’m pushing through, trying to stick with the ERP scripts. Hope all is well and everyone is keeping their chins up 🫡
What are the erp scripts...I'm just starting and trying not to ruminate
@RN777 I meant that as in I’ve been sticking to the erp, doing what i can
Were you paired up with an soocd therapist???
@Anonymous There’s no such thing, ocd is ocd. But ocd therapist yes
@Michael F So any ocd therapist will treat any theme? Glad to know. I’ve just started up with ocd therapy and the questionnaire they have sent me doesn’t really seem to be around my themes and was wondering if that would effect anything during the process.
@Anonymous Ocd typically can be about anything, one of those mental disorders where there doesn’t have to be a theme about “something” what’s your “theme” if you don’t mind me asking
@Michael F Sexuality ocd. I think. I’m new to the therapy thing so not sure if I should call them themes or just things ocd grasps onto.
@Anonymous I’ve been doing therapy on here and no, it won’t! I did 2 video assessments with a NOCD therapist, and then started the actual therapy sessions going forward, and assuming your therapist specializes in OCD/does ERP, they will work with you based on your specific themes, triggers, etc. If the themes listed don’t affect you as much, or at all, that’s ok! It was honestly the same for me doing most of the questionnaires lol. It won’t affect your therapy if you don’t struggle with the themes listed, it just helps get a better idea of what you personally do or don’t have intrusive thoughts/compulsions about. I hope this is helpful (:
@Anonymous Well, the themes are typically for you to be “associated” (that’s how i always did it) but in the grand scheme Of things it’s OCD
@ashleyrenee ^ exactly
