I guess it鈥檚 possible. I鈥檝e read about it in different circumstances. I鈥檝e had many counselors and therapists. I鈥檝e started and very quickly stopped ERP (a bit over a year a year ago) and I鈥檝e done tons of CBT with different therapists, with different focuses over the last 14 years.
Some helped more than others, and nothing has been a quick process. Which can be really frustrating.
I鈥檝e had multiple therapists who just weren鈥檛 the right fit for me. Or we had the wrong focus. And I鈥檝e found wonderful therapists who have helped me more than I could ever explain.
I guess what I mean is.. yeah, I guess it鈥檚 possible? There are a lot of different therapies and ways therapists can connect, and not all will be for you

It鈥檚 also possible that it does help, and I guess that鈥檚 worth all the work you put in to trying.

@itsok 14 years? I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I guess the mental health struggle is a long one.
My brother suffers from and is struggling with ASD. We've tried a few different things, and he started CBT today. Of course I want it to help, but I'm just scared.

@ArminArlert please don鈥檛 be sorry, I鈥檓 not sorry. I am sure I wouldn鈥檛 be alive without all the help I鈥檝e received.
It is a long struggle, and I have doubts I鈥檒l ever not need help.
I鈥檓 sorry that your brother is struggling. My younger sister has an ASD diagnosis, and my oldest sister is trying to get one.
I understand being scared very well. I hope he gets the help he needs.
