Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, and certain anxiety-related disorders. People who seek ERP therapy may feel trapped in repetitive thought loops or compelled to perform rituals to relieve distress. These symptoms can be exhausting and interfere with daily life, relationships, and personal goals. ERP is especially effective for individuals dealing with contamination fears, checking behaviors, intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, and other forms of avoidance or compulsions.
