I used to have extremely bad OCD in my teens and early 20's. The best advice that I can give ou is to be as open and honest as you can with your T. The psychologist that I saw (not my current T) did extensive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which helped me tremendously with my obsessive thoguhts and compulsions. For me I was at the point where I was unable to read and comprehend what I had read as I was in so much distress with my internal obsessive thoughts that I would be counting the words on the pages to escape whatever I was thinking at the time. It took a lot of time and a lot of hardwork but I can now say that I have my love for reading back again! YAY! Your T isn't there to judge you but to help you. Have faith in your T. I hope that you find your T as helpful as mine was for me. One more thing I still occasionally go back to see him for a bit of a tune up when things get bad even though I am seeing my current T. Good luck with overcoming this dibilitaing and painful disorder. It can be done and I believe that you can do it as well!!
