Celebrating healing today 🫶🏻

Today in my session, my therapist told me she got a notification that I’m “an OCD conqueror.” I didn’t know what that meant, but apparently all of my symptom scores have gone down significantly since starting therapy with NOCD. We took some time to review my progress and it really is amazing how far I’ve come. I’ve had OCD since I was young but didn’t deal with it until it became completely debilitating last January. At that time, every part of every day was torture. I ended up in an intensive outpatient therapy program focused on ERP. When I started ERP, I was unsure if it would help and the exposures were so incredibly difficult. But I’m happy to say that it has saved my life and been worth the temporary pain of exposures. I can now do things I haven’t been able to do since I was in elementary school. I wish I had gotten help sooner. Sharing my story in case it helps someone ❤️and as a little exposure for myself as well. We can do hard things!!!
