Exposures

Exposures are supposed to bring up all kinds of emotions, now comes the response prevention part, allow those feelings, note that you are feeling them, accept that this is part of the recovery process, do things you value, even if you feel bad, then you win!

Hi! I used to feel that way when I was doing my ERPs. It really bothered me and it was difficult to make progress with my therapies back then. But, well, I'm glad my therapist was very understand and patient. I'm so lucky to have met her. Also, although unrelated to exposures, there's this app called "unstuck" which is accessible at unstuckmyocd.com/try, that helps me manage my compulsions and my anxiety as well. I hope you try it out:))
