I had a consultation with her on FaceTime so she could refer me to a therapist, she was so nice and sweet just like in her vids!
Yes, she’s incredible, she’s also published a book which I recommend. I was collaborating with her last year on a new project she was introducing offering people support by sharing lived experiences. I stepped back though when my anxiety was bad again and I went a bit reclusive taking down my Facebook and YouTube pages that I was advocating on but I highly recommend her for peer support and help with ocd.
I realise collaborating may not be the best word... I put myself forward to be one of the advocates she’d refer people onto should she feel my lived experience would be helpful to them and because I’m in the UK that was helpful too as it meant she could send people in the UK my way but yeah stepped back from that. It’s such a positive project of hers, she’s always trying to make sure everyone gets support wherever they are across the globe. Her book is very powerful.
Oh wow that’s amazing! Yes, I love how she does peer support and referrals. I haven’t yet read her book but I intend to soon
Does she do consultations worldwide?
@Bookworm I think so, you click on one of her videos and go into the description to see her email and you can ask her through there
I’ll have to look into her stuff!
She’s so cool!!
Who else on here has contamination OCD it would be awesome to talk to others in the same boat
Hi! My name is Mikhail. I have been diagnosed with OCD for a couple years now, and this year I started ERP therapy at NOCD. I first found out about Pure O from downloading NOCD's app and seeing other people post about their experiences with overthinking, fear, and shame. While I had been diagnosed with OCD before, I had never heard about Pure O, where the compulsions manifest themselves more internally. I was at a point in my life where I was isolating myself and afraid of the thoughts I was having all day every day. This eroded away my self-esteem and identity but the skills I learned doing ERP have helped me feel like myself again. I recommend doing ERP to anyone afflicted with OCD, as it has helped me train the mental muscles I needed to get back to my life again. NOCD specialists meet you where you are at and help you get better on your own terms. I have taken the opportunity to be an advocate because once I found out I wasn't alone with Pure OCD, it reignited the faith I had in ever recovering. Learning about other people's experiences and sharing my own has helped me live more authentically. I want to do anything I can to encourage others to recover as well, because I know it is possible and that this condition is manageable. Going through NOCD treatment invoked genuine compassion in me not just for others, but for myself, which is something I never truly felt before. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to me. I feel purpose in connecting with people about OCD and getting better together. Believe me, you are not the only one who has thought that crazy thing and then thought about thinking about it 17 more times until it impacted your behavior!
What do people think about Ali Greymond? I used to watch her videos which was helpful but then I found some OCD therapists and advocates saying that she was a coach and that it’s more unethical??? But then again I’ve seen so many people saying they find her work very helpful.
