I’m starting therapy but I’m scare they’re answer will be vague and I’ll be wasting my time like how I didn’t really benefit from therapy last time I had one

Express your concern! They are there to help you. They probably expect their first time patients to be nervous.

Advocate for yourself!!

NOCD therapists are awesome. She truly listens to me and when I ask her a question she explains things very well. I have done years of traditional talk therapy and made pretty much no progress. I've had 5 sessions so far and can already see progress. If you don't understand something, ask or tell the counselor to provide clarification. Dont be afraid to speak up. The counselor is there to help and support you.

You need to see an OCD specialist or it probably will be a waste of time

Just beware that OCD can be diagnosed as anxiety. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety years ago. I never questioned it until last month when I learned learning more about OCD. I've had OCD since childhood and never knew. Counselors and doctors can be so condescending. I had a counselor who told me I was a bitch. Another kept telling me I was depressed even though I wasn't. I started having panic attacks when I was 17. For over a year and a half, I had 15 to 20 panic attacks a day. I mentioned it to my pediatrician. His response was "Thats not that bad" Found out later he had some kind of issue with women. If you happened to be male, he would listen. My brother thought he was great. If you were a woman, he was very dismissive. It irks me to no end.
