PTSD question

I’m sorry I’m being confusing. What I mean to say is that I think NOCD has certain therapists who can work with trauma but they only see clients with a PTSD diagnosis. The other therapists, in my experience, will dance around the topic of trauma because NOCD’s rules prevent them from really digging into it.

I had a similar situation and finally got switched to someone with NOCD who works with PTSD. I was also initially told that I did not qualify for the NOCD’s PTSD therapists (from what I understand, their therapists are limited in how much they can help with trauma unless you have a PTSD diagnosis, which I think is kinda messed up). Anyhow, I finally got diagnosed with PTSD through my NOCD therapist after more thoroughly discussing what terms like “flashback” mean. I’m not sure if this helps, but you may want to try switching therapists. I think some NOCD therapists are wary of losing clients to NOCD’s PTSD therapists (a messed up priority IMO).

So I have not been diagnosed with ptsd so I can’t speak to that . In my experience , ocd therapist purposefully trigger your ocd . What you can do is , call NoCD and ask them if they have ocd therapist that can also treat PTSD.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's understandable to feel unsettled when you don't feel heard in the therapeutic process, especially regarding trauma related triggers. Trauma-informed care should foster a sense of safety in the therapeutic process. If you feel unsupported, or feel that there is a misalignment, it may be worth discussing your concerns directly with your therapist, and sharing how this interaction made you feel. It may also be appropriate to share any concerns with your member advocate team as well if you are needing additional support in finding the best fit for what you need right now.

I could be wrong on this because the entire thing was a bit confusing. But that’s what I understood.

That’s kinda confusing if she said trauma informed I would think that meant ptsd
