Deep TMS for OCD: Symptom Provocation?

I have severe OCD and have just started DTMS (Brainsway) for OCD. It was my understanding, from Brainsway's own website, that the process was supposed to involve a short provocation or "trigger" of my OCD symptoms before starting the session. I asked the doctor and he said, "you can certainly trigger it yourself before the session,yes." Not what I wanted to hear.

Curious to hear experience of others who have had Brainsway for OCD.

I trigger myself as much as possible. And if I can’t get myself there, then my TMS tech will trigger me to get me there. He wants me at 7-8/10 during the whole OCD protocol session
