Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is the foundation of OCD recovery—and at OCD Anxiety Centers, it’s at the heart of our OCD treatment program in San Jose, California.
What Is ERP?
ERP involves gradual, supportive exposure to feared thoughts, images, or situations without engaging in compulsive rituals. Over time, anxiety naturally decreases, allowing clients to reclaim control over their lives without relying on rituals to feel safe.
Daily ERP Practice
In our San Jose program, clients participate in:
- Daily exposure tasks based on individualized hierarchies
- Response prevention exercises to resist rituals
- Real-world application of learned skills between sessions
Why ERP Works
ERP teaches the brain new patterns—showing that distress fades naturally without rituals. This learning leads to greater flexibility, confidence, and resilience over time.
