Hello, my OCD has gotten so bad lately that I constantly count, touch, tap, and have intrusive thoughts pretty much all the time, so I’ve been self-medicating with alcohol. I want to get better, and I found an ERP psychologist near me. Can someone please let me know their experiences with ERP?

ERP= Exposure and Response Prevention therapy.
I know you're looking of personal experiences. And I can't offer those. But here are links to 4 articles, from PC's archives, on the subject of ERP: What Is ERP for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention) is a type of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) used to treat OCD, and other anxiety disorders.
YouTube - Here's a video that explains the concept well |
