Try out Nathan Peterson’s online OCD course which has a fee but if isn’t as expensive.

Yes, this is a great alternative when therapy isn't an option. I've thought about doing it in addition to therapy. But obviously therapy will be best. Have you tried reaching out to NOCD to see if they offer a sliding scale for out-of-pocket payment? I found this article on the IOCDF website and I recommend you take a look. Especially at a section that talks about sliding scale therapy. https://iocdf.org/low-cost-treatment-options-for-ocd/

@Mindilini Also, you can go to the support groups in the meantime here on NOCD. They're free and they won't be therapy, but it might help you feel supported in the meantime.

i’d definitely look around in your specific area to see if you have therapy around to begin with - then start looking at different insurance agencies and weigh the pros and cons (i.e cost, how much they cover, etcetera)

@vaIentine also, make sure you are looking for an OCD therapist specifically. talk therapist are not trained to deal with OCD, and talk therapy doesn’t help OCD
