Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based modality for treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In ERP, clients work with a trained therapist to learn how to gradually expose themselves to thoughts, images and situations that provoke anxiety without engaging in compulsions to soothe the anxiety. This gradual exposure leads to the reduction of anxiety over time, "retraining" your brain to no longer see these things as a threat.
Dr. Vivyan has completed graduate-level coursework and multiple training sessions related to ERP for anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders. She has been using ERP for more than 10 years of training and practice to support kids, teens, and young adults in becoming their bravest selves. As a clinician with lived experience in anxiety, Dr. Vivyan loves to discuss how exposure (facing your fears) and response prevention (avoiding anxious actions) produces brave behaviors for all!
