Looking at things that you hate and have been avoiding for a long time sounds miserable, but we know it's how you get better! Thoughts, images, and urges encompass all of the obsessions in your brain. To get rid of them and make you feel better, we need to desensitize your lifestyle and habituate your senses. 

Avoidance, reassurance seeking, distraction, checking, and list making are common compulsions that people with OCD struggle with daily and can be helped with ERP. With ERP you learn to tolerance uncertainty and challenge your doubting disease. 

How is OCD holding you back?!

Being able to do your own laundry?

Feeling happy and stable?

Spending more time with friends/family?

Driving to work and being productive?

Feeling good enough? Clean enough? Worthy enough?

Concentrating on one thing too much?

Images and urges that won't go away?

Feeling like you have to do things you don't want to, or feel like you need to do?

Reality checking? "Am I crazy?"

Let's change that!
