Has anyone done ERP (exposure response prevention) to treat OCD? And how has it worked for you?

      i worked on ERP for a while — it really sucks in my experience in terms of the difficulty/reward factor. i do think that ERP/CHR is probably a very effective form of therapy but it is a *lot* of really distressing work at least in my experience (as in, willfully subjecting yourself to situations that are highly distressing) i chose to stop ERP & focus on more mindfulness/slowing the obsessive spiral therapy (not sure the actual name? something between DBT and talk therapy) and that really helped but ERP is definitely a good brute force option!! 💕
