Another vote here against using LLM. Because if you do ERP incorrectly then you can even worsen the fear and make your life even harder.
Example:
You are afraid of dogs. LLM tells you to approach one to habituate your anxiety. You do that but the fear overwhelms you and you run away.
Brain’s diary: I avoided death, that beast would shred me to pieces in a moment.
(Note this is about „normal” anxiety and not OCD, but the idea translates.)
If you dont want (or e.g. cannot afford) a proper therapy, IMHO a book by a competent author is a much better choice than LLM. Or a few different books.
