Why ERP Therapy Works So Well For OCD

ERP therapy is different from what most people imagine. Instead of just talking about fears, it helps people with OCD gradually face the thoughts, situations, and sensations they’ve been avoiding. In this video, NOCD therapists Barbara Windeknecht and Alexi Pyles explain what that looks like in real life — from contamination exposures and “just right” OCD to emetophobia, social anxiety, and phobias.They also share why their work is so rewarding: patients start re-doing things OCD once took away from them, like going back to work, school, relationships, and daily routines. The conversation also covers why virtual ERP can be just as effective as in-person treatment.
