Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is considered to be the gold standard in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). With OCD, a person’s worries and distressing thoughts become so overwhelming that they begin to impact daily functioning. ERP is a behavioral therapy that gradually exposes people to situations designed to provoke their obsessions in a safe environment. This process helps clients confront their fears or anxieties in a controlled and gradual manner, leading to an eventual reduction in symptoms.
