ERP is not the best way to get over OCD
Episode Notes
ERP is not the whole story in overcoming OCD. It’s crucial, it’s foundational to face your fears and stop avoiding your life through exposures, daily exposures, lifestyle exposures, all of it.
But the real ingredient is one word, commitment. Doing what you say you’re going to do, even when it’s uncomfortable, in service of getting better.
That’s where change starts. Not in perfect exposures, but in small, consistent follow through. When you build commitment, you start to believe you can actually change.
ERP is a tool, but commitment is the foundation. Start small today and keep your word to yourself. That’s how you take your life back.
