Overcoming OCD with Expert Care
At Theory and Method, we specialize in providing evidence-based therapy for individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Our approach is grounded in research, ensuring that you receive the most effective care tailored to your needs.
What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that an individual feels driven to perform. These symptoms can significantly impact daily life, leading to distress and impairment in social, occupational, and other vital areas of functioning.
Common Symptoms of OCD:
Obsessions: Intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause anxiety.
Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals aimed at reducing anxiety, such as excessive hand-washing, checking, counting, or seeking reassurance.
What is ERP Therapy?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD. ERP is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that involves gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or thoughts (exposures) while preventing the associated compulsive behaviors (response prevention).
How ERP Therapy Works:
Assessment: We begin with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, triggers, and avoidance behaviors to understand the nature of your OCD.
Treatment Plan: A personalized ERP plan is developed, tailored to your specific obsessions and compulsions.
Exposure: You’ll be guided through exposures, starting with less challenging tasks and gradually working up to more difficult ones.
Response Prevention: You’ll learn strategies to resist the urge to engage in compulsions, helping to reduce anxiety over time.
