Hi,
The success rate of ERP therapy being effective in the treatment of OCD is good . It is a type of CBT ,which is effective too .
Consult a Psychologist for diagnosis and assessment. With ERP therapy , the therapist will help you confront the obsessive intrusive thoughts, images that are making you anxious. The therapist will then design exposure exercises to help you face your fears, without avoidance or compulsive responses. Subsequently anxiety decreases and you learn how to healthily respond to triggers , the intrusive thoughts . You will manage by having understood your fears teaching you skills how to empower yourself.
You will manage letting go of what’s out of your control. Focus more on living in the present. Find happiness in spending quality time with your parents .
