Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Breaking Free from the Cycle of Anxiety and OCD
At Therapeutic Recovery Network, we specialize in helping individuals overcome the challenges of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) through evidence-based therapies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is a proven approach that empowers you to confront fears, reduce compulsions, and regain control of your life.
What is ERP
Exposure and Response Prevention is a structured, goal-oriented form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) designed specifically for anxiety and OCD. It involves two key steps:
1. Exposure: Gradually facing the thoughts, images, situations, or urges that trigger anxiety or distress.
2. Response Prevention: Resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors or avoidance strategies, breaking the cycle of fear and reinforcement.
Over time, this process helps to reduce the intensity of anxiety and re-train your brain to respond differently to triggers.

ERP is highly effective for treating:
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
