FAQ
- One of my daughters has OCD. She is afraid of using the internet because someone might find out her private information. She doesn’t want to try web counseling. Can a parent or guardian use the counselling on behalf of their child?
- Yes! People suffering from OCD may be hesitant to use our service for a variety of reasons such as anxiety or fear. So talking to someone close to the client on their behalf is ok. We can work together to help them overcome these issues.
- I don’t have a PC. Is it possible to use a smart device while counseling?
- Yes! Please install Zoom on your smart device that has a working camera. GO-EN will send you a meeting ID to your Email address. Attend the meeting on the scheduled time through Zoom.
- Can children attend GO-EN counseling?
- Yes! Children also suffer from OCD ( Please refer to Children OCD). However, minors need permission from their parent or guardian. Children under the age of 12 with ocd respond well to ERP activities and positive reinforcement. They are more eager to patriate in ERP activities than older clients(12 and up.) Its important for family members to learn effective ways in supporting children with OCD. We definitely recommend both children and their family members or support network participate in GO-EN counselling.
- When I receive ERP treatment for OCD, is there a possibility that my OCD symptoms will worsen?
- ERP treatment confronts anxieties. This means you can not always do your reassuring behaviors or routines. This may temporarily increase your anxiety levels. However with GO-EN web counselling we can practice anywhere ways to combat these feelings. A safe space at first and later a more triggering spot our exercises will train your body and mind to react and bring relief.
- I take medicine for OCD and depression. I want to try only ERP. should I stop taking my medicine?
- Please consult with your doctor before stopping any medical treatment.
- When I receive ERP before, I didn’t have a positive result. What makes GO-EN counselling different?
- People with OCD often say ERP treatment is too difficult when confronting their trigger points. Espeically during the first two or three months. During the adjustment period you may often have high anxiety so you will wonder if the treatment is really working. During this period its best to discuss how you are adapting during your GO-EN counselling and how best to procede. You can also receive ACT while going through your ERP treatment. So, this will aid in adapting.
- How do I know my behavior is really OCD? My symptoms don’t match what I have heard about or seen on TV when it comes to OCD behavior.
- OCD comes in many forms, not just repeating the same actions over and over again. There is also less obvious signs such as constantly mentally checking things or intrusive thoughts. These symptoms can make life just as difficult as the more famous OCD symptoms.
- I don’t understand the reservation process. It’s too complicated and takes a long time.
