Question 1

What is ERP therapy for OCD?

Accepted Answer

If you have seen ERP mentioned and want to know what it involves, it is worth asking before you start.

Question 2

Can I talk to a therapist about thoughts I am ashamed of?

Accepted Answer

Shame can make it hard to say what the thoughts are, even to a professional. A therapist who treats OCD can hear what the thoughts are and talk with you about how they approach them, at a pace you set. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Asheville who treat OCD and choose someone you would feel able to talk to.

Question 3

Question 5

What happens between sessions in OCD therapy?
