Success using IFS for OCD?
Hey all! I've been poking around this sub a bit already, but I'm about to start IFS for the first time and am a little unsure about it, so I was hoping to get some perspectives from people who might be doing it that have had similar experiences. I'm coming into therapy for OCD, and I know the basics of IFS conceptually. But I'm admittedly a bit hesitant about it since it seems very abstract to me, and I haven't heard much about IFS's success with treating OCD
I'm also autistic and really struggle with visualization since I'm pretty sure I have aphantasia, so a lot of the talk about that in IFS makes me nervous about how this would work for me. I'm not sure if IFS is just very metaphorical and that's why the idea of it trips me up because I'm taking it too literally, or maybe if there's just something about it that's not clicking in my brain (especially with the idea of talking to parts and really personifying them, I just can't imagine how that would really work for me). But I want to give this a shot because I really need something to help with how bad my OCD has been lately, so any perspectives would be so helpful!
