Part 9: Question answered!

Are you certified?

I do not have any degrees in psychology or formal training in helping people with OCD. I do not offer counseling or therapy.

I suffered from OCD for two years before I learned how to cure myself of it. I was really bad and I was in rough shape. I went to a lot of therapists and counselors with no luck, just like a lot of my readers have told me happened to them.

The problem with a lot of therapists and counselors is that a lot of them actually never had OCD and so they know about it, but they don't know what it's like to have it. They don't know the struggle.

I am not saying that therapists are bad, but if you have not had the results that you want and expect from them, there are other sources.

Decide what's best for you. If a counselor works for you, great! If it doesn't, there are other options.

I learned how to become OCD free from people who have become OCD free. I went online and learned about it. I learned what I had to do and I had the discipline to do it.

Part of getting over OCD is not thinking about it. Ask someone who doesn't have OCD how much time they spend thinking about OCD or performing rituals. They will say very rarely or never. That is why they don't have OCD!

I learned how to stop my mind from engaging in the downward spiral of thinking about rituals and OCD and because I have been able to do this with great results in my life, I know it can help other people and free them from the mental torture and it has already helped a lot of people and I just put the site up recently!
