how can i tell my therapist about my ocd? i have it severely and it’s such a hard thing for me to bring up but i need help badly. any advice?

I don’t know if there is any one easy way to tell someone. Sometimes it’s just a matter of pushing through the fears holding you back. Hopefully the possibility of getting help and working on your OCD pushes you to open up to them! They’re there to help! I for one am cheering you on from the sideline and wishing you the best!

I’m afraid my therapist will tell me I don’t have ocd

same fear here

If you keep avoiding telling your therapist directly, perhaps try writing an email before a meeting. I did this to tell my therapist that I thought I had OCD. We went through all of the compulsions I went through in my email, and I felt so much better afterward. With whatever you choose to do, good luck!

I would just say it. You don’t need to walk on eggshells with your therapist
