Shala Nicely, LPC OCD Treatment with ERP Therapy
When was the last time you blamed someone or something for a negative occurrence in your life? I’m asking because I used to be an expert at blaming (both myself and other people), and for that I blame (yes, pun intended) my OCD.
Read one of the most popular blog posts I’ve ever written about the subtle compulsion of engaging in OCD-influenced emotions and how it can fuel the compulsive cycle.
Thinking about the compulsions you could do, aka “trying on” compulsions, IS an OCD compulsion, even if you don’t do them!
So how exactly do I approach ERP (exposure and response prevention therapy) for OCD? I share the process and steps I use as well as the difference between proactive and reactive ERP.
