NOCD therapists?

Hi everyone, I’m considering scheduling a call to start therapy here and I was just wondering how much room do you have with your therapist to speak about your problems? I suspect i have rOCD that no one’s been able to understand and so I just want to be able to speak at length with a therapist about my situation before starting exposures. Can we do that with NOCD therapists?

Yes, you can literally tell them anything and everything. You should especially talk about the thoughts that have been scaring you. If a therapist doesn’t make you feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts you should start seeing a different therapist. I’ve had two therapists through NOCD and both of them have been extended kind and understanding. I hope this helps you start your journey to recovery:)

Thank you so much for this! How do we switch therapists if we’re not happy with them?

@sarah7888 I believe you can call someone that sets you up with a therapist at NOCD and they can help guide you through finding a better fit.

Best not to start worrying about switching at this point
