Hey everyone - I participated in my very first NOCD Support Group and it was AMAZING!!! If you have been on the fence about trying one out - seriously - go for it! The therapist who lead the group had really helpful prompts to get the conversation started, and she made sure we all had a chance to speak if we wanted to. The group members (about 12 in total) were incredibly kind, insightful, and supportive. I signed up to meet with the group every week, and am already looking forward to our next session. Best of all, it's totally free! If anyone has questions about the groups - I'm happy to answer if I can. Just wanted to share my experience.

i am starting NOCD therapy on monday and was just curious on others’ experiences! what happens in your sessions, generally speaking? how do you feel during and after? i’m excited but also nervous to start. i’ve been in talk therapy for years with minimal improvement with my ocd, so im hopeful to start feeling better.

I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️

What does a therapy session with an OCD specialist look like for y’all? This is something I’ve always wondered because I’ve only had one OCD therapist through NOCD. Our sessions always looked like sit there and “reduce anxiety” meaning don’t think for a few minutes and take a few deep breaths and rate your anxiety level every couple of minutes. AND that was it. Is it supposed to look like that? Because I haven’t seen anyone on this app talk about this or how their therapy sessions go. I’m considering restarting therapy but I want to know how therapy goes for you guys before I go back to the same specialist. Any input would be appreciated :)
