5 Truths About OCD Doubt You Might Not Know

OCD is often misunderstood as being just about rituals, but at its core, it’s deeply rooted in doubt and imagined fears. If you've ever felt like your worries feel real but don’t make sense, you're not alone.

Here are 5 truths that can help shift how you see your OCD—and give you hope for a different kind of treatment.

📌 If traditional ERP hasn’t worked for you, there are other options. Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that targets the why behind your thoughts—not just the behaviors that follow.

And if any of this sounds familiar, we’re here to help. Online therapy available in ON, NS, NB & BC.

If you’ve tried Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD but didn’t get the results you hoped for, you’re not alone. ERP can help, but it doesn’t work for everyone.

That’s where Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) comes in as a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps people understand the doubts and thought patterns behind OCD. It’s not about "pushing through the anxiety," but about learning how OCD tricks your reasoning and creates stories that feel real, but aren’t.

I-CBT helps you:
- Understand how obsessional doubt works
- Separate imagined fears from reality
- Rebuild trust in your own senses
- Step out of the "OCD bubble"

Read the complete article on How I-CBT for OCD Targets the Unhelpful Reasoning Processes on our website.

If you’re looking for an ERP alternative that focuses on how OCD really works, I-CBT might be the right fit. We offer personalized, online therapy across Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and British Columbia.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by feelings of worry and dread? Does your mind seem to get stuck on thoughts that are difficult to get rid of? Anxiety therapy online might be something you want to consider!

Anxiety can also focus on a lot of different areas. It is important to think about what the focus of the fear is, as this can guide your online anxiety therapy. For example, do you worry about finances, the health of yourself and loved ones, and global events? Or do you find yourself experiencing anxiety when you are with others because you worry about being evaluated and judged by them? There are many ways in which anxiety may present. We will explore how anxiety therapy online might be your next best step.

Read on to learn how online anxiety therapy can help you in our latest blog!
