Hey, everyone. I'm Jamera. I'm with my OCD coach. We've helped hundreds of people reach lifetime recovery for all subsets of OCD by using the skills and tools that helped us get to the recovery stage. And today, I am here to answer the question, why am I anxious, even though I'm still doing ERP the reason why you may still be anxious is because you. You're engaging in compulsions. Now, remember, compulsions are there to let go of the discomfort, but we want you to sit in with the discomfort. Right. So if you're still engaging in compulsions, most likely the ERP Is not going to work. Okay. Do you know what the compulsions are? Maybe you don't know what they are. Figure them out. Write them down, and let go of them. If you want to get more information on this, definitely check us out on our website at myocdcoach. Do. Com.
