Same! Decades of talk therapy/CBT making my OCD stronger WTF! Like yes I in fact can certainly analyze those thoughts to make sure they’re balanced and logical or fight them if not! And just do that most of the day everyday instead of living actual life! ERP is helping so much to finally get me a modicum of freedom from this brain.

Hey, everyone reading this with OCD. Don't abruptly stop therapy or let this deter you from trying. Let a medical professional you trust help you make this choice. I have OCD and therapy has changed my life.

Here to annoyingly hop on the “not all talk therapy is bad” train to hype up free thought exploration talk therapy for OCD - it’s been a game changer for me and has genuinely made my rumination less imposing

Yes!! I was in talk therapy for 15 years. ERP changed my life. (Also a lot more people have OCD patterns than are getting diagnosed because not all of us are knocking on walls and counting. Some of us are sitting dissociated while our brains ruminate on the right way to leave the house, and it gets misdiagnosed as anxiety)

Radical acceptance therapy has helped me the most with OCD. CBT made me feel worse! I'm hoping somatic therapy may help too.

we as a society need to normalize the truth that finding a therapist is like dating, you might have to try a few out before you find the one!! and also that not every therapist is a good therapist...

yeah you need specific kinds of talk therapy to help with OCD, and also depends on what flavor of OCD one has. it changed everything for me once I started getting the right treatment

I have OCD and I have a therapist, but I don’t talk about my OCD with my therapist unless it’s something specific I need/want to address with her. We mostly talk about trauma. I DO take the max dose of Lexapro for my OCD and LOVE it.

Maybe look into finding a Creative Arts Therapist? I’m a drama therapist, so I’m admittedly biased, but drama, music, dance, art therapies can be so helpful!!
