Description
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of the most common, and debilitating, mental disorders. Though popular media tends to focus on the condition’s zany quirks, OCD manifests in a wide variety of ways, many of which are hidden from view and utterly destructive. Left unchecked, this disease wreaks havoc on lives.
But there is an effective treatment. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) involves exposure to OCD triggers in a safe environment for increasingly long durations. Nathan Peterson, a clinician who specializes in using ERP to treat OCD, has already helped hundreds of thousands of followers regain control over their lives. Here, he guides readers through the magic of ERP and gives them a framework to maintain and build upon the gains they have made.
