This guy saying “this will be the last compulsion i do” hahaha so accurate... Now doing ERP properly its hard before it gets easy.

Erp theraphy is bs just like any other therapy. It's effects are no more significant than placebo, and unfortunately the sustanance of effects similar to placebo meaning it'll cease when you are no more interacting with the theraphist which is sole an instrument of new that injects novelty into you. When there is no novelty there is no placebo, when there is no placebo there is no effects to perceive.

Thank you so much for your effort! I am using the NOCD app's exercises to do ERP on my own since therapists are not available in my country yet. And I have a question 🙋 after you finish your ERP session( because your level of stress decreased to half), what should you do when the anxiety spikes up again after a while?

[@bettina_s]

I needed this! Yeah this therapy is awful and I hate it but what else can I do?

[@tokitaohma3127]

Is Nocd never coming to france ?

[@thatguyfromhendon344]

Hey, love your organisation! When is NOCD coming to the UK? I think I heard you were planning to start here soon?

[@treatmyocd]

We'll be there this month!

[@thatguyfromhendon344]

Awesome!

[@aramastorian2667]

do you have to do erp only when an intrusive thought appears? Or you can do it without waiting for an intrusive thought to come out?

[@muffinberg7960]

I would tell others watching this video that adopt this erp to their daily routine if they know the mechanism of action of erp. Then I would follow that up with do they know if the guy selling you the idea knows the mechanism of action. To the ones that jump straight up with a reply like I wouldn't care as long as it works and I can see results, I would reply to them that then they should find other stuff to do that has significance to their life than doing idiosyncratic behaviors like similar to the ones that monkeys do. Ill finish by saying I dont like people that put off the thinking to others which in most of time they'll also be the ones the be entitled to the thinking done by others as they are dependent to it in their malfunctional life consuming behaviors.
