Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a proven approach designed to help individuals overcome the challenges of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Our dedicated ERP therapists at Behr Psychology are committed to providing you with the strategies and support necessary to manage and reduce OCD symptoms significantly.
ERP therapy for OCD involves exposing you to thoughts, images, or situations that trigger your OCD while teaching you to refrain from engaging in compulsive behaviors in response. This treatment helps break the cycle of OCD by building tolerance to anxiety and reducing compulsive behavior over time.
ERP exposure response is the most effective treatment for OCD. In this form of CBT, a client faces their obsessions and fears over and over again without using compulsions to block them out.
We understand that putting yourself in situations that make you feel bad on purpose could be challenging. That is why our trained clinicians will work with you to develop an exposure plan, guide you through your encounters with the feared situation, and help you resist the urge to indulge in compulsive behavior.
