    • About Me

      In the fall I will be a senior in college. My major is Psychology. I am currently looking into grad schools. I want to get a master's in clinical counseling and get licensed as an LCPC. Thinking about my future in the mental health field delights me to no end. I have a pretty quirky personality. I am Irish and pretty proud of it. I think I am a pretty cool person. I like myself =).

    • Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I have had OCD all my life although I just got diagnosed about five years ago. I guess you can call my OCD severe in the sense of how many obsessions and compulsions I have and how much time is spent on my OCD. I am thankful, though, that it does not significantly interfere with school, work, or my social life. I just finished my second go around at an OCD program. This time around I noticed progress. CBT and ERP therapies are pretty much the best way to overcome it.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      By changing your behaviors you will see a changing in your negative thoughts. CBT along with ERP have helped me. ERP is exposure and response prevention therapy. Basically what this therapy is about is exposing yourself to your fear and doing it long enough to see a decrease in anxiety.
