looking for recommendations for counseling, I struggle with POCD, and just right OCD and probably a number of other s. I unfortunately don’t have insurance so I’ll have to pay out-of-pocket so looking for sliding scale options.
NOCD… you are worth the investment.
It's really important to get a therapist who does ERP therapy. A lot of the other forms of therapy just don't work very well. But ERP has been shown to be very effective. If you don't have insurance, you might be able to do an online course for ERP. I really like the one that Nathan Peterson has put together. He's a licensed therapist with lots of experience. And the online course teaches you exactly how to do ERP in your particular case. I'll put a link to that below. You might be familiar with ERP already. But I am going to copy and paste a longform description of ERP below, in case that helps. There is a lot of hope !!!! You can get a lot better with the right treatment. OCD is not a death sentence. It responds to treatment. However, it does take a lot of work. It is really important for you to be able to find your "treatment pathway" and then start walking it out. In other words, once you know what to do and start practicing doing those things every day, you will get better and better and better..
Here's a link to Nathan Peterson's online ERP course. It's awesome!!!! And it is a great alternative if you can't find a therapist. https://www.ocd-anxiety.com/
I need a therapist who specializes in Pocd I’m struggling please tell me how much can you discount me because NOCD doesn’t take my insurance
I really do want to go to therapy or psychiatrist to diagnosed my OCD and give me a treatment but it costs a lot. OCD ruins my life and consumes my mind I wish I can take a break from my own brain. Having OCD but undiagnosed feels like I’m crazy because people think I made that up but they don’t know how I’m struggling since I was a kid. So anyone have an advice for treat OCD especially checking OCD that doesn’t cost money? because I don’t work yet..🥲
Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a difficult situation and I wanted to ask for some advice. I recently finished my studies and I am living from my savings while I look for a job. However this process has turned out to be a lot more difficult and tedious than I expected. I suspect I have OCD as I relate to a lot of the experiences described here, in particular those corresponding to pure OCD. I have continuous intrusive thoughts about how what I'm currently doing is not enough, I constantly need to reassured that what I'm doing is right, with some magical thinking and concerns about my relationship sprinkled in. These intrusive thoughts have made it very difficult to make any significant progress in looking for something. Added to this I'm not even sure I have OCD as I don't have the money to afford therapy right now (my mind keeps telling me that it's silly to write this message because there's no way I have OCD). I live in Switzerland so as far as I understand my insurance won't cover sessions with NOCD. In conclusion I'm a bit stuck, therapy would help with finding a job but I need a job to get therapy. If any of you have had any similar experience and have some piece of advice it would be very welcome.
