Therapy?
Which type of therapy is recommended for pure o, pocd, socd and moral ocd? I have tried cognitive behavioral therapy but it didn’t work.

Typically ERP exposure therapy, which is technically a form of CBT. For Pure O OCD it’s often harder to find exposures that work, often imaginal exposures like writing scripts are used rather than a real-life exposure like you could do with contamination OCD or some other types.
@120 Okay thanks
I think erp therapy
hey, i'm really sorry to hear that cognitive behavioral therapy wasn't the right fit for you. it can be super frustrating to try something and not have it work out, especially when you're dealing with something as tough as pure o, pocd, socd, and moral ocd. 💔 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? i've been where you are, and what really helped me was this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my NOCD therapist recommended to me. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it's designed to provide personalized support for a wide range of OCD themes, including the ones you're struggling with. the AI acts like an OCD therapist, giving you step-by-step support when things get tough. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
Hello I am looking to start ERP on here with a therapist. I am quite nervous about it incase it doesn't work, I've had BWRT Therapy, CBT privately for months and I'm still horrified and scared of these thoughts. I haven't been officially diagnosed either which leads me down a horrible thought path.. but every therapist I have seen has said I have got harm ocd/pure o. Any advice on starting ERP? Thank you
I'm currently visiting my third therapist in the last three years and none of them have helped me so far. None of them have given me any type of diagnosis so I'm not even sure if I actually have OCD, and it's driving me mad. The last session I had, I even felt like it made things worse rather that it helped. I wanna feel that trust to my therapist that you should feel to be able to share your emotions but I don't. I feel like its not going anywhere, like it's useless. Lately I've been thinking about finding a therapist here at NOCD, I've even looked up some specific people and they all seem really nice and sweet.
It’s getting so bad I have thought about suicide. This is the worst most torturous disease to have when your mind eats away at itself and makes you feel like a monster I know I probably need to see an OCD therapist but I’m also really worried about disclosing my pocd in case I’m misunderstood. I’d rather die than hurt a child Has anyone recovered from this theme without therapy?
