Exposure and Response Prevention, or ERP, is the treatment with the strongest research support for OCD. You gradually face situations that trigger obsessions while practicing not doing the compulsion.

ERP is done step by step and at a pace you agree to, with your therapist supporting you. It can feel hard, and it works by teaching your brain that you can handle uncertainty. See What We Wish Folx Knew About OCD.

Common questions

What happens in an ERP session?

You and your clinician build a list of triggers, then practice facing them in order and resisting compulsions, both in session and between sessions.

Is ERP too hard to do?

It can be uncomfortable, but you collaborate on every step and start small. Many people find the relief worth the effort.
