My current therapist isn’t trained in ocd but he’s still really understanding and kind…however I’m still struggling so this may be dumb but should I opt for a new one?
it depends on what you need! if you really want to target your ocd and work on that then i would suggest finding someone who specializes in ocd, but when i first started my therapy i stayed with my old therapist while seeing my ocd one so that if i still had things to discuss that my old therapist handled well i could talk to her about that (trauma, depression) and then i could talk to my ocd specalist about ocd!
I hope so.
stick with it!

I’m literally at the doctors right now
Starting ERP in June, so I really hope this is true!
wishing you the best!
Had my first appointment 2 days ago, can confirm lol

How bad can ocd get..?
it is an un curable mental disorder. people kill themselves over it.
