Been having ERP for over a month now, and a thing I think is really important to talk about and it isnt talked about enough is the “extinction burst” when your main theme OCD gets easier OCD tries to latch on to something else, I have had two main themes for most of my life that I have been working on in ERP and now there is a new one i have “same mechanisms different theme” and it’s one of the hardest times right now, not because I’m not used to terror because it’s a whole new form of terror that I do not know.
So yeah, ERP is working but I’m having to work extra hard on being kind to myself right now.
