Im not OCD. But I can tell you if you are in therapy then you are probably already doing some CBT.

Anyone that is in therapy is working on CBT. CBT is Cognative Behaviot Therapy. Its basically working on your present day probelns with only a little bit working on past issues. the focus is on the present instead of the past. its basically learning techniques that will help with todays problems you are having regardless of why you are having that problem. Knowing the why helps but in the end its not always nessesary. For example having depression. you can still work on the problems of getting out of bed, being irritated or angry, being suicidal, self injury and so on. you can still take care of the symptoms without knowing what in the past caused them cause using grounding techniques helps a person who is dissociating when triggered, a person can use relaxation techniques without knowing they were abused. A person can take their medication regardless of the fact that in the past they had been hit.
