ERP Therapy

ERP Therapy, or Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, is a psychological treatment primarily used for anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It involves gradually exposing individuals to their fears or obsessive thoughts in a controlled manner, helping them face what they typically avoid. During this process, patients learn to resist the urges to perform compulsive behaviors that they believe will reduce their anxiety. Over time, ERP helps individuals build confidence and reduce their anxiety responses, ultimately leading to a significant improvement in their quality of life.
