Prevent compulsions, ease intrusive thoughts, and find relief from OCD with this gentle yet powerful approach to ERP therapyLiving with untreated obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be exhausting and isolating, but recovery is very possible. Exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), a treatment based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), helps you face your fears through mindful challenges so you can turn moments of anxiety into opportunities for calm and confidence. Backed by decades of research—and with success rates over 80 percent—ERP is proven to work, even when you practice it on your own.
Self-Guided Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy for OCD was created by an OCD specialist who has lived with the condition herself and supported a child through recovery. Designed for people new to ERP, this OCD workbook for adults will help you understand your symptoms, face fears safely, and build the resilience to manage OCD long-term.
