Just looking it up, itās a bit weird⦠itās taking all these different therapies and combining them into one thing and I can see why it could give you a headache and other symptoms. Looks like theyāre mainly doing EMDR and that is for trauma. I know itās for trauma use and therefore canāt say itās also for OCD, but I think itās a bit odd ART therapy took EMDR and other stuff and just repackaged it even though it seems to be the same thingā¦
@Nica Right!! Its a lot on your brain and it can also be used for intrusive thoughts and OCD!
So you got to ask me anything⦠Now Iād like to ask you something! Iāve heard from Members that they were so scared coming to their first ERP session. They were terrified that I would think they were crazy, that I would tell them their worst fears were true. That I would confirm they are some form of a terrible person or have them hauled off to prison for their thoughts. Iāve also had Members share how theyāre very scared to begin ERP treatment because theyāve researched enough to know it means facing the fear, without the compulsions that have kept them feeling safe (but not really safe) this entire time. They struggled to see how they could be capable of doing this, while simultaneously acknowledging that they did not want to live like this anymore. If you have had your first session, what were your thoughts before? Did you have any hesitations or fears going into it? How did it turn out? If you havenāt yet begun to work with an ERP specialist, what is holding you back?
i am starting NOCD therapy on monday and was just curious on othersā experiences! what happens in your sessions, generally speaking? how do you feel during and after? iām excited but also nervous to start. iāve been in talk therapy for years with minimal improvement with my ocd, so im hopeful to start feeling better.
Iām starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now Iāll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasnāt helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like youāll finally get your life back? Iām consumed by my obsessions š¢ Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ā¤ļø
