What should I do if I’m doing an exposure and i do a compulsion (even though I’m trying not to)? Does it ruin the whole exposure? Should I just keep going? Should I extend it?

You don’t have to extend it, or stop it. Just keep going and try to not do it anymore while your doing the exposure. But it doesn’t have to look perfect

@Anonymous It’s all about improvement. Don’t focus on being perfect. Good luck
