NOCD on Therapuss with Jake Shane

You guys know that I'm very, very open about my OCD experience on here. OCD can look like a million different things. It can look like your brain making up random rules in order to get good luck or bad luck that's wishful thinking OCD or that's magical thinking OCD you could have to like blurt out things that you think which is confession OCD and OCD if you don't know stands for obsessive compulsive disorder it basically is just really ruminating on the same thought over and over and over and over again and it can manifest in so many different ways. I have struggled with it since I was seven years old. I remember literally I used to have to touch things evenly. It was horrible. It's really horrible. A lot of people don't talk about it, but NoCD does. NoCD is the world's leading treatment provider for OCD. All of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP therapy, exposure and response prevention, something I've actually recently been doing. It's also proven to be the most effective treatment for OCD. For me, I find it to be effective because When you force, when you expose your mind and yourself to these intrusive thoughts and rituals and you sit in the discomfort, it really tells your body that you're still like going to be breathing. At least for me, that's how I view it. And like you expose yourself to what you're scared of. And OCD for me is really based in fear. Therapy with NoCD is 100% virtual and covered by adjourns for over 138 million Americans. It also includes support in between sessions so you never have to face OCD alone. I'm really grateful that I'm able to sit here and talk about it with so many people because when I was a kid, so many people didn't talk about it. I had no idea what I had. I had no idea what it was. And it was really, really scary, to be honest. So I'm so grateful that something like NoCD exists to help people understand around the country struggling with OCD because so many people struggle in silence and it's really horrible cut the struggle in silence my OCD is making me oh my god you guys that's OCD it literally was just like cut the struggle in silence keep that in that's exposure therapy To learn more about starting OCD therapy with NoCD, go to learn.nocd.com slash Jake and book a free call with their team.
