OCD can sneak up at the most inconvenient times. During the summer months, you may notice #OCD fears and anxieties are interfering with your vacation plans, time off, and travel preparations. But OCD doesn’t have to keep you from enjoying your summer. A licensed #therapist with training in evidence-based #OCDtreatment, such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, can teach you the tools you need to manage OCD long-term and live your best life, whether on vacation or at home.
