Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Provides worksheets to help individuals and clinicians create an exposure hierarchy for ERP treatment. Users identify situations, thoughts, or triggers associated with OCD and organize them according to anticipated difficulty or distress. The worksheets provide a practical structure for planning gradual exposure exercises and tracking progress as individuals practice resisting compulsions.
