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!
Any therapists able to help with my situation?
I am currently working with my second therapist. She does lots of somatic, emdr, humanistic therapy. We connected right off the bat and I was so happy to be able to be myself around her, VIRTUALLY anyways. Itās been about 4-5 months working with her, but the more we are meeting the more i still have doubts about her understanding where i am coming from or understand how my brain works, or being able to help me. And i feel myself closing off and just being superficial about everything, or just resisting my thoughts /feelings. Sometimes i feel like i can open up just fine, but itās starting to feel unauthentic. Sometimes i wish she would be like my first therapist, and help prompt me to talk or find a way to dig deeper into my issuesā¦sometimes i feel like she doesnāt say the right thing, or doesnāt point out things my first therapist would do and work that outā¦.idkā¦and the whole humanistic energy work freaks me out. Im a practicing Catholic and when we do certain somatic/emdr/humanistic work i start to think: what if i get possessed or what if what i am doing here is wrong, or this feels like its too much for my brain to handle and i might end up freaking out badly, or what if i something bad happensā¦.idkā¦any thoughts???
What does a therapy session with an OCD specialist look like for yāall? This is something Iāve always wondered because Iāve only had one OCD therapist through NOCD. Our sessions always looked like sit there and āreduce anxietyā meaning donāt 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 havenāt seen anyone on this app talk about this or how their therapy sessions go. Iām 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 :)
