CBT worsensed my OCD , although the therapist couldn’t diagnose me (BetterHelp psychiatrist) . The most ridiculous advice she gave me was to carry a compact mirror 🪞 literally a mirror when I’m feeling forgetful of who I am and to look at myself . LOL what was the worst advice a therapist ever gave you ?

To fight the ocd by writhing down “rational thoughts,” instead did not help at all

I debated about going to Better Help or Tallkspace. It was cost prohibitive for me. Then a friend with OCD told me about NOCD. My therapist has been so amazing. I have done years of regular talk therapy. But it only made things worse. When I added the OCD piece to my story, I finally understood why. I once had a therapist tell me to read Seven Habits For Highly Effective People. Never did understand how that was supposed to help me.

NOCD was the most effective therapy for me :-)

@;-; Me too!
