Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Overview
ERP is a leading, research-supported treatment for OCD and related anxiety disorders. It involves gradually approaching feared thoughts, sensations, or situations, while reducing compulsive or avoidant behaviors. This process helps decrease anxiety over time and restores a sense of freedom and control.
Patient Experience
ERP is often selected when intrusive thoughts, rituals, or fears begin to interfere with daily functioning or well-being. The method offers a highly effective and proven way to break cycles of avoidance and anxiety. Individuals may choose ERP for its structured, evidence-based nature and its strong track record of success.
