Here is an interesting link: https://www.verywellmind.com/ocd-dbt-skills-2510652. Also, where have you been looking for therapists? Here are my go to links if you haven't searched there yet. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists This one you can filter for OCD and other specializations, and it will yield more results. https://iocdf.org/ocd-finding-help/find-help/ This one has very specialized OCD specialists and is where I found my current (she is $150 per session).

Also, if neither of these work, there is one more option I can think of. It's called BetterHelp and it's an app. The cost is $40-$70 a week (billed monthly). I haven't personally used it, but if you choose this route, I recommend contacting the company and asking for the therapists that specialize in OCD/ERP. And, one last option (sorry for all the options, but hey, a lot of options is better than a few!) is called LiveHealthOnline, it is also an app, and it has a psychology section (I have and still use the psychiatry option, which is also available). The prices are slightly more, but it's just another option. Again, if you decide to choose either of these online/mobile options, I recommend contacting the company for a list of their OCD/ERP specialists. Good luck!?

DBT can be very helpful. I’d give it a shot! It certainly won’t make anything worse, so don’t worry about that.

Kind of Spiraling
Hi guys! I’m new to the community and I’ve recently received my OCD diagnosis (tho I’ve known about it since childhood). I’ve been somewhat spiraling lately as I wait for my first ERP session (hooray!) I was just wondering if any of you guys have received ERP for existential OCD and if it was successful? My existential OCD compulsions are more so mental and have been affecting me in the sense of dream/memory flashbacks and giving me a sort of “uncanny” feeling about everything around me. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you❤️

ERP
I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️

OCD therapist versus not?
Hello! What a journey this ocd thing is! After 17 years with one therapist, I knew I was no longer making progress, so I changed to a new therapist. After just 6 months with her, she suggested I might have ocd and to look into getting diagnosed. She was right and I was diagnosed with ocd last summer. Meds are making a big difference but I still have lots of unlearning and re-learning to do. I’ve been struggling with whether or not to switch to a therapist who specializes in ocd. I have no issues with my current therapist, but she doesn’t specialize in ocd and I sometimes think I need someone who does specialize in it. But of course, I have Pure O, so I can think myself in circles til the cows come home. Can anyone share experience about switching to a therapist who specializes in ocd?
