ERP is the way to beat OCD. In a nutshell: Exposure is becoming aware and confronting the thoughts, situations, images, and objects that cause debilitating anxiety – and meeting them head-on. Response prevention is refusing to engage in compulsive behaviour when confronted with the thoughts and situations that cause the anxiety. Effectively, you become the one in charge of your obsessions and compulsions – often the point of no longer needing them. Easier said than done, but Dr. Kathleen will skillfully guide you!
