Personal Statement: Immersion Therapy
I agree with Bonds statement of “ The important thing about self-control is that it can be improved”. When I was a little girl I was diagnosed with severe OCD, there were times when I would cry for hours because my hands were dirty. It had gotten so bad I was put into a type of therapy/counseling called “Immersion Therapy”. Immersion therapy was awful, but it has helped me in the long run overcome my fear of dirt and disorganization. I still have a long way to go and I may never be 100%, but I’m able to control the need to wash everything I see or someone touched before me.
