What Exactly is ERP and Why it Shouldn’t Scare You

Exposure response prevention (ERP) is the most effective form of OCD therapy success, yet so many people have fears about it, so this episode sets the record straight with specific examples of ERP, how it treats intrusive thoughts, and why the reality of its use is not nearly as scary as it seems, plus, Jason answers listeners’ questions on OCD stereotypes, myths, and the control of patients.

About the Podcast

OCD Power

OCD Power is the show that focuses on the positive aspects of the condition to transfer the control from intrusive thoughts to the person who has them. We are featuring research based upon neuroscience brain scans and guests, however, this podcast is about you, and is completely interactive, so we're here to answer your questions and talk about the topics you want to hear.

Please go to https://www.ocdpower.com and use the form to send questions or tell us those things you want to hear more about, then sign up and subscribe so you know when we’re releasing new episodes.

The show's main purpose is to empower people with an OCD by showing how if you have it, you also have the power to overcome it. And we promise it will be entertaining with none of the nonsense, like "look how awesome I am" or "feel sorry for me" speeches from any so called "experts" (yeah, we're tired of it too!)

We cut through everything to present new useful content, strategies, solutions, insights, and tools to help you not only overcome OCD, but to improve other areas of life as well. You’ve probably seen all sorts of people talk about what “OCD is not...”, now it’s time to talk about what OCD is, and how to turn its own power against it, because when OCD fights itself, you’ll win every time.

OCD Power is where you can also hear all of the news and updates for the film, Counterpoints, so stay tuned!
