@therapistinrecovery: Anyone with OCD has an overly sensitive, over reactive neurotransmitter circuit or “fire alarm system” in their brain. While medications have been shown to address parts of this cycle, behavioral therapy is actually shown to be most effective (often paired with medication) long term at changing that neurological defect holistically and sustainably. So, if you needed a sign to do more for your ocd, this is it!! Healing is not only possible but I see it every day! Give me a follow and DM me to get on the list to be notified for my online ocd course this fall! #ocdtherapist #ocdawareness #neurology #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdtiktok

dilyara :

is it okay to try behavioral therapy on your own without the specialist based on research of the internet sources?

Heather Kimble :

Being on an SSRI was really helpful to be able to do ERP. It made my compulsions feel less intense.

user4920092078815 :

Have you seen improvement in patients with TMS?

elJoosh24 :

My therapist thinks drugs will be enough 🤦‍♂️

Candace Currey :

When does the class start or summer seminar

ShellBell :

My hope is that being on my SSRI enhances my behavioral therapy progress, helps rewire things and then I can eventually be SSRI free. Is that a practical hope?

GaGa :

Effexor worked wonders for me 20+ years ago (along with CBT) but had to come off (due to afib) currently on Zoloft (150 mg) and it’s not as effective as I would like.

Jessica Heredia757 :

What if every med I have tried made me feel worse

Jessicaa_ :

Have you ever prescribed Effexor for ocd??

angela :

Once you start an ssri, aren’t you stuck on them for life?

user9540886925133 :

I just picked up my prescription (Prozac) for the first time and I’m so scared to take it!! 🫣 ROCD over here, also in therapy.

emrldgrneyes :

Do you see patients in NC?
