Exposure and response prevention (ERP): how does it work?

Dr. Nicholas Farrell demonstrates the use of exposure and response prevention (ERP). ERP is a component of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and considered the “treatment of choice” for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). ERP is also useful for treating other mental health conditions such as eating disorders, phobias, panic disorders, generalized anxiety disorders, and social anxieties.
