I’ve had like 6 sessions I think? And I already feel like my physical neck pain that’s come from ocd/ anxiety has gotten better. I’m definitely compulsing less. Feels good and most importantly I’m excited to keep going.

You should expect some discomfort at first but overtime you will get used to it and I promise your therapist won’t put you in an awful moment:)

It’ll help so much! It’ll feel like you’re challenging your own reality but it’s really OCD. You’ll start to feel better after practicing ERP.

@Honeyshark Also don’t be afraid to talk about the stuff that brings you deep shame and guilt - OCD loves hiding there - and it’s not you, it’s your OCD that makes you think those things.

I started here about a 1 and a half ago when, what I know now is, OCD had me down really bad. I was a little skeptical how much it would help me but it feels like night and day from where I was when I started and I still have room to go. Stick with it, don’t be afraid to be open and honest about anything and definitely practice the ERP and you’ll see the improvement

Realizing what in my life was touched by OCD was hard and freeing. I changed in things I felt were just reality for me and could never be different. Congrats on starting - a hard and necessary step!

How NOCD First Session Goes
Im wanting to set up an appt with a therapist but I am on the borderline. I’ve seen some bad Google reviews of people saying the therapists are required to do “small talk” but don’t get into the route of the issue right away. Is this normal? I just want help with my Pure OCD as soon as possible without wasting too much time on unnecessary things and get myself to feeling better.

Better Help vs NOCD
Hello! I am trying out and looking to partake in therapy, but I literally don’t know what is good. So could use some personal perspectives. Thanks

Therapy Question
What does a therapy session with an OCD specialist look like for y’all? This is something I’ve always wondered because I’ve only had one OCD therapist through NOCD. Our sessions always looked like sit there and “reduce anxiety” meaning don’t think for a few minutes and take a few deep breaths and rate your anxiety level every couple of minutes. AND that was it. Is it supposed to look like that? Because I haven’t seen anyone on this app talk about this or how their therapy sessions go. I’m considering restarting therapy but I want to know how therapy goes for you guys before I go back to the same specialist. Any input would be appreciated :)
