How likely do you think I am to waste time if they don't specialize in ERP?
For many years I avoided therapy out of fear, but the problem has gotten to a point where I just can't ignore it anymore because it's just taking too much time every day.
Just now I came to realize that, on top of there being very scant options in my city (just in case I clarify I'm not from the US) of therapists who specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy at all, I've simply not found a single one that does ERP or that knows of it.
Based on your experience, do you think I could see some results despite them not having the specific tools to do ERP therapy? Or will I most likely be wasting money?
I suppose I can try medication as an alternative, but tbh I'm even more afraid of all the drawbacks that come with medication, specially the possibility of building a tolerance to the dose over time, so I really had high hopes of getting through it only with therapy :(
