Does ERP really work?
I have not been to a psychiatrist or a psychologist and I don’t have a diagnosis but I think when I read about OCD, I relate to the things people talk about regarding it.
I am actually looking into consulting a psychologist or a psychiatrist soon. But also my question is that I have tried to ignore several compulsions over the past years, shouldn’t that have been helpful to me already? Doesn’t it work like ERP? (Just to be clear, I am not making small of medical help by asking this question and seeming to compare it with what I said was me trying to ignore several compulsions in my daily living.)
What I just mean is that, why doesn’t ignoring what I think as compulsions, still have not worked naturally in getting rid of what I think is OCD?
I ask for your kind understanding of this post please…peace and love to all…
