Why you can’t just “think your way out” of OCD? Dr. Jameeka Moore explains why traditional talk therapy doesn’t work for OCD. The disorder lives in your midbrain, where fight-or-flight happens; it doesn’t respond to logic or reasoning. That’s why OCD treatment requires ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). Instead of trying to eliminate the “what if” thoughts, ERP teaches you that you can sit with uncomfortable emotions without doing compulsions. It’s a learning process that proves you’re more capable than OCD wants you to believe. From Session 425 of Therapy for Black Girls, where Dr. Moore discusses OCD and its impact on Black communities. #OCD #MentalHealth #ERP #TherapyforBlackGirls #AnxietyTreatment #BlackMentalHealth #Psychology
