FAQ

What is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy for OCD?Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for OCD. It is considered a gold-standard treatment for OCD and anxiety.If you struggle with obsessive thoughts, anxiety, or compulsions (like checking, washing, counting, or needing things to feel “just right”), ERP can help you take back control.ERP has two main parts:1. Exposure
This means slowly and safely facing the thoughts, images, objects, or situations that trigger your OCD. You are not forced into anything scary. We take small, planned steps together.2. Response Prevention
This means choosing not to do the compulsion or ritual that usually follows the anxiety. Instead of checking, washing, avoiding, or asking for reassurance, you practice letting the anxiety rise and fall on its own.How Does ERP Help?OCD grows when you avoid fear or do rituals to feel better. ERP teaches your brain a new lesson:* Anxiety goes down on its own.
* You can handle uncomfortable thoughts.
* You do not need rituals to be safe.Over time, your brain learns that the fear is not as dangerous as it feels.In ERP therapy for OCD, we will:* Set clear treatment goals
* Build a step-by-step plan
* Practice skills during sessions
* Practice between sessions with supportERP works for many types of OCD, including:* Contamination OCD
* Harm OCD
