Hi everyone,
I am currently being seen by psychologist under CMHT for my OCD which I have had 15 years and it’s severe. I asked for CBT as I would like to reduce my compulsions. I have been told that due to my long standing OCD, CBT wouldn’t be appropriate as when I stop one compulsion another would likely come up and now they want to just help me live my life as best I can with my condition using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and trying to help me distance my thoughts a bit to make them more manageable.
Has anyone else had this? I feel like they have given up and I’ll never get better Thank you for reading.
