Shy🇺🇸 :
My therapist kept telling me “you’re so insightful”. I stopped seeing her because it just felt really unhelpful.

Had this for years…. I have coping skills but sometimes it’s bad and it takes me time to calm down.

I have OCD. I went to see a therapist who was an “OCD specialist” I told her about OCD thoughts. She freaked out, called 911, told me she was committing me. She got fired from her practice. Another one “ let’s go into your past.” No.

Yes, omg I’m already over processing. I just started therapy post break up and I’m becoming hyper aware. I noticed it’s really bad- diagnosed with anxiety but I think it’s ocd

Is an EMDR/ocd therapist a thing? I think I have it and I also really need to work on my inner shame and self esteem which I’ve heard EMDR can be effective for. I know where and why I am the way I am, I just can’t stop the cycles. Idk if those would have to be 2 diff forms of therapy.

Oh My Talking Bird :
I told my therapist I believe I have OCD and she fully did not acknowledge it. I absolutely noticed that she breezed right over it. I have done more therapy than anyone I know (literally), so I’m sort of over the rooting. My self awareness is now level extreme!

I am a new therapist hoping to specialize in OCD one day as I grow. I feel like along with ERP, ACT would be a good therapy bc you don’t spend any time deciding if the thought is accurate or not like with trad CBT. Let me know your thoughts, I appreciate your videos!

I was diagnosed in high school but the doctor basically said my social anxiety was so high they weren't going to bother addressing the ocd until I had the other issues in check. turns out it was all just ocd! lmao!!!

My therapist I had for years off and on finally worked on the ACT model towards the end of our time together it actually felt like a difference.

Felicia :
I’m 30 yo and was diagnosed with OCD at like 14… they did NOTHING to help it, only targeted my anxiety. Now I’m reaping the repercussions because it’s controlled my whole life. But I start TMS on Monday and pray it gives me some relief 😭

When I was in grad school to become a therapist and in therapy myself which lead to my Dx she told me to journal. I said no because of this reason. I did not need to do more processing

I mentioned to my therapist that both my kids got diagnosed and we share traits and they skipped over it. And I’ve been spiraling ever since

Joana Silva :
This is so important! My ocd initially showed up as health ocd , I started seeing a therapist, and by that point, my compulsion was taking around 300 pics of my skin, a DAY, just to check (I wasn’t even getting to work on time because of this)! Well, she thought it was just anxiety and would not accept that I might had signs of ocd… it got so bad, that around one month later I started developing harm ocd, and again she would just state “you’re very anxious”…. I dropped out after this, and tried finding a specialist instead! Please make sure you don’t get stuck with a non specialist!
