This is very well written and clear! I love that any question you would have with erp is clearly explained through this article.
Also Erp is the only way I have been able to gain my life back. I wasn't able to eat food at all for a while, and it helped considerably. It takes a bit to get better. But after a couple of years I'm basically back to how I used to eat before. :)
if anyone is struggling just know it's a muscle and every time you refrain from doing a compulsion it does get easier. Ocd is just tricky and makes you feel like youve done no progress.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm glad to hear ERP was helpful for you in regaining the ability to eat. People often don't understand how debilitating OCD can be, and not being able to eat food temporarily is definitely a big example of how much the disorder can negatively impact someone.
I appreciate your point about ERP therapy taking time, but that it does get easier the more you do it. That's been my experience as well.
