Hello Everyone. I have a question. For anyone that has had ERP therapy, how long were you in therapy before you saw results? Is the average therapy time 6-12 months? I’m financially strapped at the moment and looking for some options. Thank you.

As a potentially cheaper option, you might want to look at something like Dr. Reid Wilson's OCD course: anxieties.com/ocd-and-the-6...
I found it super helpful. He also has a fair amount of free content on YouTube as well.
When I first worked through ERP therapy, I really struggled. I ended up going on an SSRI and then went back to ERP therapy, and found it significantly easier. I kinda found that once I learned the ERP techniques, I could do a bit more work on my own and not have to go to as many appointments, which helped me save a bit of money
Google NOCD online therapy. When you first start ERP it is very uncomfortable. You have to face your O.C.D. fears head on. Gradually you get more comfortable with whatever form of O.C.D. you struggle with. I have been in therapy with NOCD for two years or more and it is still scary and a struggle. However, even at 69 years old I still try to get better. Good luck , stay strong and pray!
