  Stage 1 - Denial or Avoidance

  Image Source

  You are trying to cope the best you can, but you are either in denial about your anxiety/OCD or you are avoiding facing it. This is likely due to fear, doubt and the brain's excuses that keep you in your comfort zone (hello OCD!), or a lack of knowledge or confidence with what type of help you should get. This is quite common...there is A LOT of misinformation out there about OCD treatment. It is very common to seek help for OCD, but not get it, as less than 1% of therapists are trained to properly recognize or treat OCD.Solution: You CAN retrain your brain away from avoidance and resistance. You CAN learn the recovery skills, and getting support to help you do this is key! I know I needed it to overcome OCD!See stories of others who have overcome this exact same problem!

  Stage 2 - Ready, but Uncertain

  You recognize there's a problem, and you're ready to seek help, but you're not sure what the best recovery option is. You've likely done some research and have heard of ERP, but you may be scared of "facing your fears." Another common scenario is that you've tried ERP before, but you determined that it "didn't work for you." This is either because you didn't learn it properly, use it consistently enough, or you didn't have a good teacher. ERP works EVERY TIME, when done consistently and properly!See testimonials now to prove that Recovery Is Possible!!!

  When you are learning about OCD, how to respond differently, and applying the new skills consistently, you will see results. They can be subtle and feel like baby steps, but with consistency, many small shifts turn into big shifts over time. In this stage, you'll notice more awareness of uncomfortable thoughts & situations, you'll get more comfortable applying the different ERP techniques in response, and you'll get more consistent with responding w/ immediacy over time.Want better results?Solution: Work with us, we've actually achieved lifetime recovery!I got better w/ ERP therapy, but I kept relapsing because they missed 2 very important things!1. I was engaging in sneaky compulsions that they didn't help me identify.2. They had me do exposure until my discomfort dropped in half, not to zero.Learn to bypass these two common mistakes and get to the Lifetime Recovery Stage faster!
