OCD distorts thoughts, not your character.
You’re not a bad person. 💜 #OCD #MentalHealth #YouAreNotAlone

We train clinicians for what we recognise,
but what about what we miss? Only 61% of UK programmes teach BDD
vs 97% for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder BDD isn’t rare. It’s undertrained. Study:

Psychotherapy can be challenging. Emotions may intensify, energy can drop, and change can feel uncomfortable. But most side effects are temporary and often part of real growth. Healing is rarely linear, and you are allowed to take your time.

Does online CBT work for BDD? RCTs show that guided internet-based and app-based CBT lead to large reductions in BDD symptoms, with lasting effects. 
Digital CBT is a credible, evidence-based treatment option. At Overcoming OCD, we offer CBT including online therapy. #BDD #CBT

OCD AWARENESS WEEK 🗣️ OCD is a debilitating mental health disorder that often gets misused as someone being quirky or liking things neat & tidy. This week I’ll be sharing videos to help break the stigma around OCD @ocdaction @treatmyocd

Connecting with others who understand your journey can mean the world. When people “get it,” stigma breaks down, empathy grows, and healing begins. Today’s #TogetherAgainstOCD prompt: Share a time when someone finally “got” your OCD. How did that understanding impact you?
