Dear alesha:

I understand why your EMDR specialist referred you for therapy elsewhere regarding OCD treatment. The International OCD Foundation (iocdf. org/ how to find the right therapist), reads: “The.. Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder recommends beginning OCD treatment with a type of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) called exposure and response prevention (ERP), which has the strongest evidence supporting its use in the treatment of OCD. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) used alongside ERP has also been shown to be helpful with OCD patients”.

You can read more about finding a therapist for OCD and much more, on the website iocdf. org.
