100%, it helped me after a few months, I didn’t realize how bad I had gotten until I overcame my ocd. I was anxious and shaking 24/7, erp helped me to face my fears and overcome them, which is something I never thought I could do. I recently have also been put on medication and it was a GAME CHANGER. But also remember everyone’s brain is wired differently. You get to decide how you want to deal with your ocd!

I’m 3 months in and it has helped me! I do ERP and CBT. Both know about it. ERP helps me face the OCD and both therapist help me get under the reasoning. Unfortunately, work has been very stressful this last month and a half so we are kinda taking steps back to help manage that and how it manifest. But ERP is helpful, especially with changing themes. You find out under all those is the same self values you may be ignoring or infringing upon

What do you mean by you get to decide how you want to deal with ocd ?

Yes! I would recommend it. I found a therapist here and she was excellent Although it was tough learning how to face my fears , it was extremely helpful I use ERP independently now

You do it at your own pace everyone is different I had 2 lots of therapy The first lot was about 10 sessions . A combination of 90 mins 60 mins and 30 mins The second set was about 8 sessions which was a combination of 60 minutes and 30minutes. Money well spent

Wow , but it worked for I guess pretty easily .

Yep

Yes! But not the first time - 20 years ago, I wasn't ready to face my fears and my therapist wasn't competent. Many years later I did ERP online, helped me immensely.
