I am in exposure therapy for OCD. Im not sure how you do it, but for me, it has been slow exposure to my OCD triggers while practicing skills for "talking back" to whatever OCD is telling me is gonna happen. My t is going away until 12/15 for medical reasons, and right before she is leaving, she has been attacking my OCD. saying that things are gonna happen and i am going to hav to just deal with whatever happens. i feel like im being thrown into the deep end, to go from this gentle work to all of a sudden taking no steps or anything and just going all in. i tried to express my concerns to t, especially since she will be gone while i am having to deal with it all (not the best time imo), but she isn't listening. should i be more persistant in telling her that no, we hav to go easy while she is gone? has anyone else had t all of a sudden change her tactic for no apparent reason? and if so, how did you deal with it?
