Alrighty if we do erp with an ocd therapist but ocd is caused by trama shouldnt we see a regular therapist to recover from trama?

Trauma, as in trauma from OCD? OR other life experiences?

yes I think some of us need trauma treatment, however that looks like. Though I‘m not sure if all OCD is caused by childhood trauma

OCD isn’t caused by trauma — as far as we know. It may be exasperated by it or come up in your OCD themes, but the cause of OCD is complex and not totally understood. It’s probably a combination of genetic and environmental factors. But think about how many people have trauma and DONT end up with OCD? If there were a direct correlation, we’d know. You can see a regular therapist for trauma. But if you don’t have your OCD under control first, treatment will be quite complicated and likely ineffective. Treat OCD first, then secondary issues.

psychological connections are never directly linked as cause and effect. The only one who can find out the truth about their own lifes are we ourselves, not experts. I find a connection to trauma in my case. If I‘d deal only with ocd symptoms it would be reductive. And if you follow only ERP there is NOTHING about your personal story in it, nothing about your family, that is a blind spot. For some, ERP can also be retraumatising, tjat‘s at least what some around here write
