ERP works for me, but it seems like I have to do SO much of it every day or it will get bad again, or I constantly have to switch up my ERP bc it becomes less effective. Is this normal? Will I always have to do so much?

It’ll get better over time but maybe you’re the type of person that you have to do ERP therapy constantly instead of once a month. I have to practice mindfulness every second of every day or else I’ll start slipping into anxiety and PTSD. It is what it is.

If you don’t mind, can you tell me more about how ptsd affects you and your ocd? I think I might be struggling with that and I’d like to hear more and tips on how to deal

@aimforthestars I only got better through trauma therapy with a trauma therapist and ERP with an OCD therapist. It just so happened my current therapist has been around so long and loves going to school that he does all threat I need. Rarely does that happen.
